## What it is
Aspia is a free open-source remote desktop application with file transfer, remote terminal, system information, text chat, and video recording. It supports direct connections or a self-hosted NAT traversal infrastructure using Router and Relay servers with connection by ID.

## Use cases
- remotely control another computer's desktop
- transfer files to a remote machine
- self-host a TeamViewer or AnyDesk alternative
- provide remote IT support and assistance
- view system information on a remote computer
- connect to machines by ID through NAT traversal
- run an encrypted remote terminal session

## When to choose
- you want an open-source, self-hosted alternative to TeamViewer or AnyDesk
- you need cross-platform remote desktop across Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android
- you require encrypted connections with per-user access rights and encrypted address books
- you want to run your own Router/Relay infrastructure instead of relying on third-party clouds

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight CLI-only remote access tool
- you require enterprise features like session recording for compliance or multi-tenant management at scale
- you need official mobile apps beyond Android or web-browser-based remote access
