ShiftDesk
Remote desktop

Connecting to the network… No install needed to connect from this browser.
- 4K60zero-copy GPU encode
- 120FPS game mode
- P2Pdirect link, no relay
- E2EDTLS + CPace
Three gears to connect.
No port forwarding, no VPN, no account needed to try it.
Share the address
The other side types it in the app or on this page. You approve — or give them the password.
Drive
Screen, mouse, keyboard, sound, files and clipboard — over a direct, encrypted link.
Everything in the cockpit.
Built for speed first, then packed with what support teams and power users need.
Built for latency
Desktop Duplication and ScreenCaptureKit capture, NVENC / AMF / QSV / VideoToolbox encode. No frame ever waits in a queue.
Game mode
120 FPS gear, pointer lock and raw mouse movement. Fast enough to play when the network allows it.
End-to-end encrypted
DTLS between the two computers, bound to your password with CPace. Our server never sees your screen.
Shared clipboard
Copy text, images, files or whole folders on one side and paste on the other, with a live progress bar.
File transfer
Drag and drop or browse both disks side by side. Every file is verified with BLAKE2b.
Floating chat
A small always-on-top chat window that stays with you while you work on the remote screen.
Voice and sound
Two-way Opus voice plus the remote computer’s sound, with packet-loss concealment.
Multi-monitor
Switch screens in one click. Portrait displays come out upright and numbered the way Windows numbers them.
Any keyboard
1:1 mode for the remote layout, or Translate mode for yours — a Turkish Q keyboard on an English Mac just works.
Works offline on a LAN
Devices on the same network find each other and connect directly — no internet, no server.
Six gears
From 720p for mobile data up to native 4K — or set resolution, FPS and bitrate yourself.
Browser client
Connect from any modern browser — iPhone, Android, Chromebook — with the same encryption.
Start free, shift up when you need to.

Questions.
Is it really faster than the usual remote desktop tools?
ShiftDesk captures the screen on the GPU, encodes it in hardware and sends it straight to the other computer. On a LAN we measure 7–25 ms from screen to screen at 60–120 FPS. Over the internet the network adds its own delay, but nothing on our side queues frames.
Can ShiftDesk see my screen?
No. Video, audio, input and files travel peer-to-peer, encrypted end to end. Our server only helps the two computers find each other.
What happens after 10 minutes on the Free plan?
The session ends and you can reconnect right away. Pro and Team remove the limit. If either side of a connection is on a paid plan, the limit does not apply.
Can an AI assistant fix a computer from the terminal?
On Team and Enterprise, yes. Turn on Settings › Terminal access on the computer once; from then on an assistant connected through ShiftDesk's MCP connector can run PowerShell (Windows) or zsh (macOS) commands there as the signed-in user, never as administrator. It can join in terminal-only mode next to a normal session, so whoever is working on that computer keeps the screen, mouse and keyboard. Every command is listed in the app on that computer, and turning the setting off stops it.
Can several people connect to the same computer?
Yes, on paid plans: up to four people can be in the same computer at once, each on their own Pro or Team plan (or on a computer whose own account is paid). A computer on Free takes one person at a time. Separately, Pro connects you to three computers at once and Team to twenty.
Does ShiftDesk update itself?
Yes. Install it once and it keeps itself up to date: new versions are downloaded in the background, checked against our digital signature, and installed only when no session is running, so an update never cuts you off.
Do I need an account?
No. An account keeps a list of your devices, lets you reach them in one click from any browser, and lets you upgrade.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. On the same local network, devices find each other and connect directly — useful for offices and labs.
