Open Source Rust Remote Desktop Software

RustDesk is a full-featured open source remote control alternative for self-hosting and security with minimal configuration. Desktop versions use Flutter or Sciter (deprecated) for GUI, this tutorial is for Sciter only, since it is easier and more friendly to start. Check out our CI for building Flutter version. You have full control of your data, with no concerns about security. You can use our rendezvous/relay server, or self-hosting, or write your own rendezvous/relay server.

HopToDesk is a free, open-source remote desktop application that lets you securely access and control computers across the internet or a local network. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, Raspberry Pi, Android, and iOS, with a browser-based web client for clientless access from any device. Connections are end-to-end encrypted and brokered through a global network of signal and TURN servers, so no port forwarding or VPN setup is required. HopToDesk supports unattended access, file transfer, clipboard sync, multi-monitor viewing, remote audio, on-screen annotation, session recording, and TCP tunneling. Mobile devices can be remotely viewed and, on Android, fully controlled. For teams and MSPs, the HopToDesk Dashboard adds device management, a help desk with ticketing, single sign-on, two-factor authentication, custom branding, device policies, and remote command execution with approval workflows.

lamco-rdp-server is a native Wayland RDP server for Linux desktops. It provides remote desktop access using the standard RDP protocol, so you can connect from any RDP client: Windows Remote Desktop, FreeRDP, Remmina, or others. It supports multiple screen capture and input backends: * xdg-desktop-portal: works with GNOME, KDE Plasma, and other portal-compatible compositors * Native wlroots protocols: works with Sway, Hyprland, and other wlroots-based compositors The server detects the running compositor and selects the appropriate backend automatically. Built in Rust on the IronRDP protocol stack (pure Rust, no FreeRDP dependency).
