Remote desktop, right in your browser
Control another computer from any browser — no download, no installer, no admin rights. Open the page, paste an ID, and the remote desktop loads in your tab. It's the fastest way to reach a machine when you can't install anything, and a free, encrypted alternative to the mobile remote desktop apps.
Free · No sign-up to connect · Chrome / Edge / Safari / Firefox
Connect from anywhere, leave nothing behind
The web client trades a little performance for total reach. When you can't (or don't want to) install software, it's the whole product in a single tab.
Nothing to install
No download, no installer, no admin rights. The whole client runs inside the browser tab. Close it and nothing is left behind.
Works on machines you can't touch
A locked-down work laptop, a school Chromebook, a library PC, a friend's computer. If it has a modern browser, you can connect.
Encrypted by default
The session uses the same end-to-end encrypted relay handshake as the native GoDesk apps. The browser is the shell, not a weaker security model.
Connect in seconds
Open the page, paste the remote ID and one-time password, and you're in. No account is required to start a session.
What the beta can't do yet
We'd rather tell you the trade-offs up front than have you discover them mid-session. If any of these are deal-breakers, the native desktop app does all of it today.
Expect rough edges
This is an early build. Some sessions reconnect, some controls lag, and a few features from the desktop client aren't here yet. We ship fixes often — tell us what breaks at support@godeskflow.com.
Smoother on the native app
Browser video decoding over the relay can't match a native LAN-direct session. Heavy full-screen motion (video, window animations) looks softer and a touch behind. For day-long work on your own machine, install the desktop app.
Needs a modern browser
The client relies on WebCodecs video decoding. Use an up-to-date Chrome or Edge for the best result; recent Safari and Firefox work but are less tested. Old browsers won't render the screen.
View and control first
Screen viewing, full mouse and keyboard control, and basic file drag-drop work today. Multi-monitor switching, audio, and the full file manager are still landing. The machine you control still needs the GoDesk app running.
A better alternative to a mobile app
There's no app store download, no APK to sideload, and no update to chase. Open your phone or tablet browser, go to the web client, and reach your desktop the same way you would from a laptop. One link works on iPhone, iPad, and Android alike — the page adapts to the screen, and the touch controls map to the remote mouse.
It's the quickest way to grab a file or fix something on your computer from your pocket, without committing storage to a native app you open twice a month.
Three steps to a remote session
The web client is the controller. The computer you reach runs the free GoDesk desktop app and stays in charge of approving access.
Run GoDesk on the remote PC
Install the free desktop app on the computer you want to reach and leave it open. It shows a 9-digit ID and a one-time password.
Open the web client anywhere
On any other device — a phone, a tablet, a borrowed laptop — open the browser and launch the GoDesk web client. Nothing to install.
Paste the ID and connect
Type the remote ID and password, approve on the host, and the desktop appears in your tab. Move the mouse, type, drag a file across.
Try it now — no install required
Launch the GoDesk web client in this browser, or grab the native app for the smoothest, full-feature experience on your own machine.
