Features
Everything you need, nothing you don't
A small, focused remote desktop you can understand, host yourself and share with people you trust.
Works on your phone
Open the web viewer in any mobile browser. Touch trackpad, right click, scroll, on-screen keyboard and a special-keys bar.
Private by design
Screen video travels directly between your devices, encrypted by WebRTC. The server only introduces them to each other.
You stay in control
Temporary ID + password, and an Allow / View only / Reject prompt for every connection that is not your own account.
Multi-monitor & audio
Switch between monitors during a session. System audio streaming is available on Windows hosts.
Clipboard, files & chat
Send clipboard text, upload files, download from a shared folder, and chat with whoever is at the PC.
Made for friends & family
Invite-only registration with an admin page: create invite codes, reset passwords, disable or delete accounts.
Open source & self-hostable
MIT licensed. Run the server on a VPS, or even on cPanel shared hosting that has a Node.js app option.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is ReachPC really free?
Yes. It is open source under the MIT license. The only cost is whatever the person running the server pays for hosting.
Is it safe?
Screen video is sent peer-to-peer and encrypted by WebRTC. Unknown connections need the temporary password and your manual approval. Unattended access is optional, off by default, and only works for devices logged into your account. That said, this is an early release that has not been independently audited — use a strong account password and only trust servers you run or know.
Do I need to open ports or configure my router?
No. Devices connect outwards to the server and then link up directly using WebRTC. On very strict networks (some offices or mobile carriers) a TURN relay server may be needed — the server owner can add one.
Can I control my home PC from my phone?
Yes. Enable Unattended access on the home PC, log in on your phone at the web viewer address, and tap Connect. No app install is needed on the phone.
Does it work if the PC is locked, asleep or turned off?
No. The PC must be on, connected to the internet, and the Windows user must be signed in with ReachPC running (it stays in the tray). Controlling the Windows lock screen or UAC prompts is not supported yet.
Why does Windows show a SmartScreen warning?
The installer is not code-signed yet (certificates cost money). Click More info → Run anyway. You can verify the download with the SHA-256 checksum shown in the Download section.
Which systems are supported?
The installer is for Windows 10/11 (64-bit). The mobile/web viewer works in any modern browser. Linux (X11) and macOS can run the app from source, with less testing.
How do I get an account?
Registration is invite-only. Ask the person running the server for an invite code, then register in the app or on the web page. You can also connect as a guest using only an ID and temporary password.
Who can see my computers?
Only your own account. Devices you sign in with are listed under My devices for you alone. The server owner can see account emails and device names, but not your screen.
Can I stop someone who is connected?
Yes. The PC shows a red banner while someone is connected, with a Disconnect button. You can also turn Unattended access off at any time, or quit the app from the tray.
Can I host this myself?
Yes — that is the idea. See the self-hosting guide in the GitHub repository. It needs Node.js 20+, HTTPS, and optionally a TURN server for strict networks.
About us
Remote access that stays in your hands
ReachPC started with a simple need: reach a home PC from the office, or from a phone, without handing a third-party company the keys. It is built on open web technology — WebRTC for the live screen, a small Node.js server for sign-in and introductions — so anyone can read it, host it and improve it.
It is an early release: it works, it is actively improving, and it has not been independently audited. Honest feedback is the most useful thing you can send.
