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
