CrossDesk

CrossDesk is a lightweight cross-platform remote desktop application with support for controlling remote devices from a web client. It is built as an experimental application on top of MiniRTC, a real-time audio and video transmission library. The project uses MiniRTC capabilities such as network traversal, H.264 and AV1 video encoding and decoding, Opus audio, signaling, congestion control, and SRTP encryption. It targets Windows, macOS, and Linux desktop environments, with platform version requirements depending on the operating system. CrossDesk is useful for users and developers who want a self-hostable remote desktop system with modern real-time media foundations. It is especially relevant for people exploring WebRTC-style remote control, cross-platform screen transmission, and browser-accessible desktop access.
