Reach any desk.
Only with a yes.

2BDesk lets you help a colleague, support a client or reach your own computer from anywhere. The other side sees who is connecting, chooses what to share and can end the session at any moment.

How a session works

Three steps, and the person in front of the screen decides each time

01

Share your address

Open 2BDesk and read out the 9-digit address and the one-time password. The address stays the same; the password changes whenever you want.

02

Approve on screen

A correct password alone is not enough. You see who is asking, pick a screen or a single window, and decide whether they may use the mouse, keyboard and clipboard.

03

Work together

The screen streams directly between the two computers. A red banner stays visible on the shared machine, with a button to take control back or end the session.

Features

Everything a remote session needs, and nothing hidden

Direct connection

Peer-to-peer WebRTC with sharp text rendering, up to 30 frames per second.

Full remote control

Mouse, wheel and keyboard by physical key, correct on high-DPI and multi-monitor setups.

Shared clipboard

Send your clipboard to the remote computer or copy theirs back, if they allow it.

Stable address

Your 9-digit address survives restarts and updates, so regular contacts can find you.

Windows, macOS, Linux

Native installers for each system, Apple Silicon and Intel Macs included.

English and Russian

The app follows your system language and switches in one click.

Works behind NAT

STUN by default, plus your own TURN server for strict corporate networks.

Self-hosted relay

Run the small open relay on your own server and keep every session inside your company.

Security

Built so nobody can watch you without you knowing

  • ✓
    Two gates for every sessionThe right password and a live click on Accept. Five wrong passwords block requests for a minute.
  • ✓
    The password never travelsThe computers prove it to each other with an HMAC challenge. The relay sees only a random nonce and a signature.
  • ✓
    Always visibleA banner and an always-on-top indicator stay on the shared screen for the whole session, with an End button.
  • ✓
    No hidden modes2BDesk does not hide its window, start silently or run in the background without you seeing it.
  • ✓
    Your address is yoursEach address is tied to a secret key stored on your computer, so another device cannot take it over.

Apple Silicon (M1–M4).dmg Intel.dmg
First launch

Until the app is notarized by Apple, open it with right-click → Open, or allow it in System Settings → Privacy & Security. Then allow Screen Recording and Accessibility so others can see and control your Mac.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can someone connect without me noticing?

No. Every session needs your current password and your click on Accept, and while it runs a red banner and an always-on-top indicator are visible on your screen.

Do I need an account?

Not for the free self-hosted setup. An account in the mobile app is only needed for the hourly or monthly plans.

What if one of us is behind a strict firewall?

2BDesk tries a direct connection first. If the network blocks it, the relay operator can add a TURN server and every app picks it up automatically.

Can I share only one window?

Yes. Pick the window in the approval dialog. The other side can see it but not control it; remote control needs a whole screen.

How do I take control back?

Untick “Allow control” in the red banner or press End on the indicator. The other side switches to view-only or disconnects immediately.
