Remote desktop access for mobile devices
RustDesk is a free Remote PC application for mobile devices developed by RustDesk. This open-source app grants users access and control to their computers from any location. It serves as both a client and a server that help sestablish a connection between two devices for remote operation and management.
RustDesk can serve as a viable alternative to popular solutions, such as TeamViewer and AnyDesk. Those who will come from these apps will find many of the same essential functions. It also features cross-platform support, allowing it to facilitate connections between major operating systems on both desktop and mobile.
How does RustDesk work?
RustDesk is a remote access and management application that can run across all major platforms and operating systems, be it smartphones, tablets, or PC devices. It acts as both a client and a server, meaning you will only need this single app for any two devices. It is also easy to use and does not require much configuration to get you started.
RustDesk's mobile application features a clean and simple UI. All you need to begin with is the credentials of the device that you want to access and control. Once you have that, you can input all the information on the app to establish a connection between the two. Also, in the desktop version of the client, a history of all connected devices will be displayed, making it easier to reconnect to past devices in future uses.
In addition to granting remote access and control, RustDesk can also be used for simple file transfer between your devices. While it is free to use, the tool only gives a single dev-hosted server to work with. If you want more server options and features, such as 24/7 customer support, you are given the choice to unlock them through purchases.
Intuitive, albeit held back remote access app
If a simple remote desktop application for personal use is all you need, then RustDesk will get the job done. It's intuitive to use and setting it up takes no time at all. You only have one server available to you and you will need to pay for more options, though. If you don't mind that, this is a decent option worth considering.
