CrossDesk is a lightweight, open-source, cross-platform remote desktop application built in C++ with SDL3 and ImGui, supporting connections from native clients and a browser-based web client. It uses the MiniRTC real-time audio/video transport library with WebRTC-style ICE, SRTP encryption, H.264/AV1 video codecs, Opus audio, and optional NVIDIA/Video Toolbox hardware acceleration.
Use cases
- remotely control a Windows PC from a Mac or Linux machine
- access a remote desktop from a browser on iPad or phone
- self-host a remote desktop server with Docker
- connect to multiple remote machines simultaneously
- stream screen video and audio with hardware-accelerated encoding
- remote support for family or colleagues via device ID and password
When to choose
- you want an open-source, self-hostable alternative to TeamViewer or AnyDesk
- you need browser-based remote access without installing a client
- you need cross-platform support across Windows, macOS, and Linux
- you want hardware-accelerated H.264/AV1 video streaming
- you want to study or extend a C++ WebRTC-style remote desktop implementation
When to avoid
- you need enterprise features like auditing, SSO, or team management
- you require a long-proven, battle-tested remote desktop solution
- you need mobile native apps rather than browser access
- GPL-3.0 licensing is incompatible with your usage
