RustDesk is a remote access and remote control software, allowing maintenance of computers and other devices. The RustDesk client is available for different operating systems. RustDesk has the aspiration to be an open source alternative for Remote desktop software like TeamViewer or AnyDesk. Therefore, RustDesk is able to function without additional tools like VPNs or port forwardings, even behind firewalls or NATs. RustDesk used to be based on the proprietary Sciter UI runtime library, but in 2022 plans started to replace it with Flutter.
