Truly peer-to-peer
Video and input flow directly between you and the remote machine after a 200ms handshake. The server is never in the data path.
Peer-to-peer · End-to-end encrypted
Remote desktop,

Built for the way work happens now.
Every design choice trades latency for clarity, and noise for speed.
End-to-end encrypted
Built on WebRTC's mandatory DTLS-SRTP layer. Your screen is encrypted before it leaves the agent — we couldn't see it if we tried.
Connect in 5 seconds
Type 9 digits, type a 4-character password, hit Connect. No invites, no accounts, no email confirmations.
Hardware-accelerated video
NVENC, QuickSync, AMF — we use the best encoder on your machine. 1080p60 at <5% CPU on modern hardware.
No client install
The viewer runs in any modern browser. Phone, tablet, Linux box — if it has Chrome or Safari, it can be the remote.
Free for personal use
Use nilidesk for your own machines, your family's PCs, whatever you want. Forever free for non-commercial use.
How it works
Three steps. No accounts, no firewalls to configure, no static IPs.
Install on the remote PC
One small download. The agent shows a 9-digit ID and a one-time password.
Open the browser
From any device, go to nilidesk.com/connect and type the ID and password.
You're in
Full mouse, keyboard, and 60fps video — running peer-to-peer over an encrypted channel.
How we compare
We built nilidesk because the alternatives got bloated, expensive, and slow.
