SubnetDesk is a free, open-source remote desktop application designed for direct connections across local networks and VPNs. Based on RustDesk, it eliminates the need for public rendezvous servers, relay services, or cloud accounts. Users can discover nearby computers through mDNS or connect using IP addresses and hostnames. Remote sessions support desktop control, file transfers, terminal access, clipboard sharing, and audio when supported. Its interface organizes recent connections, favorite devices, and connection groups. Security controls include password authentication, device fingerprint verification, and network address allowlists. Optional browser access enables remote connections through HTTPS. SubnetDesk runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.
