PowerRemoteDesktop is a remote desktop application written entirely in PowerShell, with both client and server components implementing its own custom remote desktop protocol. It provides encrypted screen streaming, full mouse and keyboard control, clipboard synchronization, and TLS-based authentication between Windows machines.
Use cases
- remotely control a Windows desktop from another machine using only PowerShell
- stream a remote screen with mouse and keyboard control without installing third-party RDP software
- securely access a home or lab PC over an encrypted TLS connection
- synchronize clipboard between local and remote Windows systems
- administer multiple Windows machines from a single PowerShell session
When to choose
- you want a pure-PowerShell remote desktop solution with no external dependencies
- you need to remote into Windows 10/11 machines where installing traditional RDP clients or VNC is impractical
- you want encrypted remote access with certificate or challenge-based password authentication
- you prefer a lightweight, scriptable remote control tool you can audit and customize
When to avoid
- you need a production-supported, actively maintained tool - the project moved to Arcane (PhrozenIO/Arcane) and this repo is no longer maintained
- you require cross-platform remote desktop (it only targets Windows 10/11)
- you need high-performance, low-latency streaming for gaming or video - PowerShell imposes performance limits
- you need features like file transfer, multi-monitor management, or session recording not offered here
