RustDesk Remote Desktop Software

RustDesk is a high-performance, open-source remote desktop software application designed as a self-hosted alternative to proprietary tools like TeamViewer or AnyDesk. Originally created to provide users with full control over their data and security, the software is written in the Rust programming language, which ensures memory safety and high speed. The project gained significant traction within the global developer community due to its open-source nature and the ability to set up private relay servers.

The brand is owned and operated by RustDesk Software (Purslane Ltd), a company headquartered in Singapore. While the core software remains open-source under a GPL license, the company offers commercial tiers for individual and enterprise users that include professional hosting and advanced management features. Development is driven by a decentralized team of contributors globally, but the corporate entity and intellectual property are managed out of Singapore.
