RustDesk is a remote access and remote control software, primarily written in Rust, that enables remote maintenance of computers and other devices.[1] The RustDesk client runs on operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Apple MacOS, Apple iOS, Android and common Linux distributions. RustDesk has the aspiration to be an open-source alternative to remote desktop software such as TeamViewer[2] or AnyDesk. As a result, RustDesk can function without relying on additional tools such as VPNs or port forwarding, even behind firewalls or NATs.

History

Since version 1.2.0 in 2023, RustDesk is based on Flutter, replacing the proprietary Sciter UI runtime library[3][4][5][6][7] that preceded it.

Also in 2023 fraudsters targeted victims of technical scams, tricking users into installing RustDesk to access sensitive data.[8][9] The developers have since put up prominent warnings on their website informing users not to download the software if they are told to do so by strangers posing as customer service representatives.

As of August 2024, RustDesk states that their default rendezvous server is hosted in the EU.[10]

In 2022 the RustDesk fork HopToDesk was launched by Begonia Holdings LLC. and published on Flathub in 2024.[11][12][13]
