New in DeskRanger
DeskRanger launches in Early Access.
What each version brings, most important first.
Version 1.0
Early accessThe start: everything DeskRanger can do with version 1.0.
Remote desktop
See and control your computers and phones from anywhere, even in a browser.
Help with a support code
Whoever needs help reads you a number and allows the session on their device.
Help without an account
Anyone who needs help just downloads the app and reads out a number.
Access your own devices
Your own devices stay reachable, even after a restart.
Passwords
Passwords, 2FA codes, SSH keys and more, on all devices, no master password.
Files
Open your devices’ folders and copy straight from device to device, also in sessions.
Your own network
Your devices reach each other by simple names, with no router settings.
Home network on the go
Reach the NAS, printer and camera at home on the go, through one of your computers.
Android and Linux
Android (APK from the website) and Linux (GNOME) are here. A Linux server without a screen signs in with a code. iPhone and iPad follow after App Store review.
DeskRanger Secure
No device joins your account without your confirmation, not even through us.
End-to-end encryption
What happens in a session stays between your devices. We see nothing.
Browser access
Connect in the browser, no installing, end-to-end encrypted. With Pro.
Terminal & SSH
A shell on your devices or SSH to your servers, even without an open port.
Go online through your home
On hotel Wi-Fi, go online through your computer at home, encrypted.
Sound in sessions
Hear what the other device plays. The person there decides about sound.
Displays & resolution
Switch between screens, fit the resolution or see everything pixel for pixel.
Existing PCs via RDP and VNC
Open computers via RDP or VNC, even without DeskRanger on them.
Visible consent
Nobody connects unnoticed: others need your “Allow”.
Password into the session
In a remote session DeskRanger types a password for you, no clipboard.
Show your phone’s screen
Show the screen of an iPhone, iPad or Android phone, to explain and to help.
Share a single app
Show just one app instead of the whole screen, on Mac and Windows.
Clipboard
Copied text goes back and forth between your devices; switch it off any time.
Access to services
Reach web interfaces and printers on your devices without opening a whole network.
Wake sleeping devices
A sleeping computer at home wakes up when you need it.
Guests in your network
Invite another person’s device into your network. It reaches only what you share.
Rules in your network
Decide who may reach what in your network: who, where, what.
Three views
Get help, give help or all features: the app asks at first start what you want to do.
Add devices nearby
A new device on the same network shows up by itself; a short code confirms it.
Groups & favorites
All your devices at a glance: groups, favourites, search and live status.
All connections at a glance
One icon shows every open connection. One click opens or ends it.
Direct or relay: you see the path
Every connection shows whether it runs direct or through a relay, and what helps.
Device information
See live how a device is doing: load, storage, network and version.
Privacy mode
Darken the other device’s screen while you work on it.
Passkeys & second factor
Sign in with a passkey, Apple, Google or Microsoft, plus a second factor.
Sign-in activity
