Open Source Remote Desktop Software

Application to manage Remote Desktop (pro version called Microsoft Terminal Server) connections. The connection info is stored in the standard Microsoft RDP file format.

properJavaRDP is an open source Java RDP client for Windows Terminal Server. It is based on rdesktop, a SourceForge project. properJavaRDP runs on Java 1.1 up (optimised for 1.4), and works on Linux, Windows and Mac. It also includes log4j-java1.1.

AnywhereTS is a configuration tool to create and deploy thin-clients, utilizing ordinary office PCs as clients. Your organization can re-use already existing office PCs instead of, or in addition to using dedicated thin clients.

The ScreenCat project is an open-source screen sharing and remote collaboration application built on Electron and WebRTC that lets users share their desktop and grant control of mouse and keyboard to remote participants. Originally designed for developers and tech enthusiasts rather than commercial use, it emphasizes hackability and contribution from the community. The software uses experimental Chromium WebRTC APIs to stream desktop video to another peer, and it supports remote control through a browser interface by sending a simple invite code. Although still in alpha status, it provides a rare open collaborative alternative to proprietary screen sharing solutions. The architecture includes native dependencies for simulating input events, enabling real-time remote control across systems. Users can also screenshare between two ScreenCat applications or with a normal web browser, making it versatile for remote assistance and pairing scenarios.
