RustDesk alternative
Looking for a RustDesk alternative? team, audit log and backup without running a server
If you want to run your own server, RustDesk is a good choice. If you would rather not deal with that, TamDesk: open an account, install it on the computer, connect from a browser. One computer is free for life; support by code is always free.
Which one fits you?
Three questions that pick the right tool
That RustDesk is open source and lets you run your own server is a real plus. If you answer “yes” to the questions below, TamDesk is worth a look.
Does it matter who the installer comes from?
The publisher of the installer you send to a customer is visible on Windows. TamDesk installers are EV code-signed.
Do you need team, sharing and records?
Roles, computer groups, contact approval and an audit log come together with file sync and backup in one product.
What TamDesk offers
Everything remote support needs, in one product
The technician connects from a browser and installs nothing on their own computer.
EV code-signed installer
Our installers are EV code-signed by BEEZ BİLİŞİM LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ; on Windows you can see the signature in the file's Properties window.
Team and roles
Invite your staff, give them a Support, Technical or Admin role and share your computers by group. There is no per-technician fee.
Audit log
Every connection is recorded with who made it, when, and to which computer. You can look it up later in the portal.
File sync and backup
Your computers back each other up; version history and a trash folder are built in, and deleted files are kept for 30 days.
Support by code
Your customer gets support without creating an account: they read out a 9-digit code, you enter it, and they give permission. The code is valid for 10 minutes and works once.
Connect from your phone
Open TamDesk in your phone's browser, pick the computer and connect. No app to download.
End-to-end encryption
Screen, audio and file transfer are encrypted between the two computers. The servers in between cannot see the content.
No server to run
You open an account and install TamDesk on the computer; you do not have to set up, update or monitor a server of your own.

It runs on Windows 10 and 11, macOS (Apple silicon Macs, macOS 14 or newer) and Linux (beta). On the connecting side the operating system does not matter; a current browser is enough.
