The BEST option

This is the best remote desktop app for any use i’ve ever used and I’ve tried them all!!! They even let you self-host it for an even faster experience!

Better than TeamViewer

Not sure why this app has such low reviews; if I had to guess, it’s probably because some people don’t understand what this app is for. If you self host your own Rustdesk server, this app is perfect. It does everything the TeamViewer app can do, plus you aren’t being tracked and sold to by TeamViewer. This app does everything I could ever want a Remote Desktop app to do.

The best remote desktop software

This is the best and most compatible remote software I’ve used. There is only pros and one cons. The pros are it’s stable, it works with private self hosted setups, and it works with Mac, Linux, and Windows with no issues. The only con is, it makes the phone hot after using it for a while.

Best app ever for a replacement of realvnc

This is it, the best realvnc replacement ever. This app is the first thing I install on my devices so I can remote into them

Excellent features

So far I like everything about this app and feels superior to TeamViewer

원격제어 최고의 앱

무료로 유지해주셔서 정말 감사합니다🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀항상 행복하세요

Hot phone

Great fast connection, but it lacks mouse acceleration and makes my iPhone heat up.

Incredible and Open!

This app truly embodies the spirit of open source software. I just started getting into developing, and needed a way to remote into my Mac from iPad and iPhone. I launched a website from an airplane with this app.

There is nothing remotely comparable - let alone for free! There was real intention and intelligence put into the design of this app. And to utilize free public relays for it is just awesome. I’ll be getting my own server configured when I get back home - or maybe I’ll do it remotely via RustDeck!

recent update broke ipad mouse

I use this regularly with my ipad, and the most recent update caused it to be more difficult to you use. The mouse on my pointer on my desktop and pointer on my ipad aren’t lined up anymore and I can’t figure out how to get them lined back up.

Amazing!

Thank you for making this, exactly what I needed and works flawlessly 🙌

Use this if your sick of other RD programs

For years I’ve had miserable times with other apps, dealing with support and having them raise prices. I finally got sick of it and decided to find an open source alternative, and discovered this app. The self hosting ability is amazing and this whole setup worked well enough for my personal devices that I am in the process of pushing my company over to this software to ditch our current Remote Desktop provider. Cannot recommend this enough

Great

Great open source option! Lots of options if needed but also accessible and easier to set up than Sunshine + tailscale.

Нет изображения с ПК. «Ожидание изображения»

Подключение проходит быстро, но никакого смысла в нем нет если нет изображения с ПК

Very good app

Please In the next update, could you add the option to view and modify USB drives when they are in file transfer mode, because currently they can not be accessed

Excellent app

Great app, works flawlessly, no connection or control issues

Fabulous, free, a bit buggy

This is a great piece of software and a very functional solution for flexible remote access. Useful enough that I’d be happy paying for it. (But it’s free.) In terms of performance and functionality, it’s actually better than many of the paid solutions still available, including Splashtop. There are some persistent usability issues unique to its use on the iPad, such as flakey behaviour when using a keyboard and trackpad on the iPad (a very common configuration when remoting), scaling displays, etc. When those bugs get addressed this is going to be complete magic.

Remember Password doesn’t work

Seems to reset password with no prompt for it

Needs a Ton of Work

Not ready for anything more than personal use. Don’t waste your time with this Chinese clone.

As good as teamview … but free

Works like a charm, can control my win 11 pc. Use it with my ipad and my second PC to control my basement PC

Works

I use this app to access a raspberry pi linux server.

When i remote into it, most of the time rustdesk shows a black screen even though inputs get properly sent. I'm guessing it is because it uses a wayland server instead of x11.
