The remote desktop with zero-trust security and unprecedented performance. Bring one device, have access to everything.
TidyDesk App is a security-first, low-latency remote desktop engine that allows you to stream your computer to any device without exposing your entire network. Built by former AWS engineers, it replaces vulnerable “network tunnels” with Atomic Event Architecture, where every click and keystroke is a signed, encrypted, and one-time-use cryptographic transaction. It’s essentially a hyper-private direct connection to your machine that prioritizes zero-trust security and bare-metal performance.
We will never sell your data. We will continue to build, iterate, and sharpen this software with your feedback. Our promise is to always provide a remote desktop interface that is more secure than your YouTube bro's sponsor-heavy VPN every millisecond, every day.
No relays. No TURN servers. No extra hops. A faster, flatter, and more private way to work.
We will never stop bringing you the best of the best.

Apples to Oranges
Previous tools like RustDesk struggle with mouse lag and overshooting targets, making it impossible to do anything more than wave a cursor—TidyDesk App virtualizes the interaction loop with sub-frame latency. This allows the feedback and precision required for professional graphic editing, audio, and CAD software.

| Feature | KVM / Xen | Firecracker (MicroVMs) | TidyDesk App (Atomic Event) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mac Compatibility | Near Impossible. Requires non-standard patches and violates EULAs. No native GPU accel. | Linux Only. Architected specifically for Linux MicroVMs and containers. | Native. Built with Swift to leverage native macOS display and input APIs. |
| Client Requirement | Heavy. Requires specialized VNC/RDP clients or terminal emulators. | Terminal-First. Primarily accessed via SSH or API calls. | Unified. A single, high-performance stream of prioritized compressed data. |
| Layer | Kernel/Hardware. Simulates full CPU/RAM/Disk. | VMM. Stripped-down KVM for serverless/containers. | Application/UI. Virtualizes the interaction loop (Input/Pixels). |
| Trust Model | Trust the Hypervisor. Vulnerable to "VM Escapes." | Sandboxed. Uses a "Jailer" to wrap the process. | Zero-Trust. Trust the signed, perfect forward instruction. |
| Network | Creates a Network Bridge (VPC/VPN). | Isolated micro-network. | Zero Exposure. No network bridge created. |
For the individuals and enthusiasts building from anywhere.
