Remote desktop for Linux.
A remote desktop app that fits your Linux workflow. Supports X11 and Wayland, runs on headless servers. Today we ship .deb for Debian/Ubuntu/Mint; .AppImage and .rpm are on the waitlist.
Made for the Linux ecosystem.
GoDeskFlow works with multiple display servers, package formats, and server environments across Linux.
X11 and Wayland support
Full support for both X11 and Wayland display servers. GoDeskFlow automatically detects your environment and uses the optimal capture method.
Headless mode
Run GoDeskFlow on headless servers without a display attached. Perfect for managing cloud VMs, CI/CD runners, and remote infrastructure.
CLI installer
Install and configure GoDeskFlow entirely from the command line. Scriptable setup for automated deployments and infrastructure-as-code workflows.
.deb package
Native .deb for Debian-based distributions (Debian 11+, Ubuntu 22.04+, Mint 21+). Install with apt and receive updates when you re-download the latest .deb. Auto-update via signed APT repo is roadmapped.
.AppImage and .rpm planned
Universal .AppImage (anything glibc 2.31+) and .rpm (Fedora/RHEL/openSUSE) are on the roadmap. Join the waitlist on the download page if you need a non-Debian package.
Systemd service integration
Run GoDeskFlow as a systemd service for unattended access. The .deb registers a `godesk.service` unit that starts on boot.
