Headless + server-grade
The Linux host runs without a display server. Pi arm64 runs without a monitor. Wayland and X11 natively supported — no compositor hack.
Use case
Remote desktop for system administrators
Heterogeneous server fleet: Windows AD, Linux web servers, a few Macs for build pipelines, Pi-based IoT devices. WinDesk makes them all reachable remotely — without VPN acrobatics, with an audit trail.
What sysadmins value
Hardware tokens instead of password hygiene
Device tokens with Secure Enclave / TPM 2.0. No central password that can leak. Token rotates automatically every 90 days.
Webhook integration
Session events as JSON POST into your ticket system (Jira, Zammad, osTicket). No additional software stack required.
Audit trail by default
Immutable logs: who, when, how long, which host, which file transfer. CSV export for compliance reviews.
Cross-platform consistency
Same UX on Windows, Mac, Linux, Pi. One account, one configuration, one audit stream.
P2P instead of cloud routing
Sensitive server data doesn\'t travel through third-party cloud infrastructure. On symmetric NAT: Swiss TURN relay that only forwards encrypted bytes.
Frequently asked questions
Headless Linux servers — works without a display?
Yes. The Linux host runs without an active display server (X11/Wayland). For CI builders, test runners, edge devices in server rooms without a monitor: just install the host, set up pairing, done.
How about Pi 4 / Pi 5?
arm64 .deb for Pi OS Bookworm 64-bit. Pi 4 (min. 2 GB RAM) and Pi 5 are tested platforms. For maker setups, education labs, kiosk solutions.
Audit trail for compliance?
Immutable record of connections, file transfers and permission changes. Filterable by user, exportable as CSV. GDPR Art. 30 ready, ISO 27001 prep.
