Access from anywhere

Open your Windows desktop from a browser on Windows, macOS, or Linux, wherever you are working today.

Support people faster

Start an attended or unattended session when someone needs help, instead of scheduling a call about it.

Your devices in one place

Keep your remote devices, their status, and their session history in one account.

Core capabilities

Labelled clearly, so you always know what is available on your plan.

Remote desktop in the browser

To Windows computers

Open a Windows desktop in a browser tab, with nothing to install on the computer you are using. Desktop sessions in the browser need a current version of Chrome or Edge.

Remote Viewer app

App for Windows, connects to Windows computers

A desktop app for Windows that opens sessions to your Windows computers in their own window.

Unattended access

Reach a device that nobody is sitting in front of, using the installed agent and your account permissions.

Attended sessions with consent

To Windows computers

When someone is at the computer, a desktop session can ask them to accept before it starts. The computer needs the agent installed.

Web SSH

To SSH-accessible hosts, through a device running the agent

Web SSH runs through one of your devices that has the agent installed, so it can also reach SSH-accessible hosts that device can see, including Linux and macOS machines that do not run the agent.

Browser terminal

On Windows, Linux, and macOS devices

The browser terminal opens a shell on Windows, Linux, and macOS devices through the agent: PowerShell or Command Prompt on Windows, bash on Linux, and zsh or bash on macOS.

Secure file transfer

With Windows, Linux, and macOS devices

Move files to and from a remote device over an encrypted channel, including SFTP on eligible plans.

Clipboard synchronization

To Windows computers

Copy text on one machine and paste it on the other during a desktop session.

Multi-monitor support

To Windows computers

Switch between the displays attached to the remote computer during a desktop session.

Session history

A record of who connected to which device and when.

Audit trail

On the Team plan, a log of who did what in your account.

The LynxTrac agent

The agent installs on 64-bit Windows 10 and 11, Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS, Rocky, and Fedora on 64-bit x86), and macOS 11 or later on Apple silicon. Intel Macs are not supported.

How it works

    Sign up in a couple of minutes. No credit card is needed to start a free trial.

  2. 2

  3. 3

    Connect securely

    Open a device from the web or the Remote Viewer app and start a session.

Security in plain language

Sessions run over encrypted connections, and reaching a device always requires an authorized account.

Encrypted communication

Remote sessions travel over an encrypted connection between your client and the target device.

Secure authentication

Sign in with account credentials; access to a device requires an authorized account.

Two-factor authentication

Add a second factor to your account sign-in for stronger protection.

Session history

Keep a record of connections so you can review who accessed a device and when.

Audit trail

On the Team plan, review who did what in your account.

Device authorization

A device must be registered and authorized before it can be reached.
