Everything you need, built in
No plugins, no bloat — just the features a remote desktop tool actually needs.
Smooth Screen Sharing
See the remote screen in crisp, real-time detail, even over an average internet connection.
Full Remote Control
Drive the remote PC's keyboard and mouse exactly as if you were sitting in front of it.
Easy File Transfer
Move files between machines with a simple, reliable file manager — interrupted transfers pick up right where they left off.
Clipboard & File Paste
Copy text, images, and files on one machine, and paste them directly on the other — no extra steps.
Audio Streaming
Hear the remote computer's audio in real time, right alongside the screen.
Unattended Access
Reach your own PC any time you need it — even when nobody's there to approve the connection.
A lighter alternative to AnyDesk, TeamViewer & UltraViewer
AlphaDesk gives you the same core remote desktop experience — screen sharing, remote control, and file transfer — without the bloat, licensing fees, or sign-up walls other tools ask for.
Completely free
No trial period, no per-session limits, no upgrade prompts — every feature is available from the first download.
Tiny and fast
Under 5 MB and nothing to configure. Install it, share your ID, and you're connected in seconds.
No account required
Just open the app and go — no sign-up, no email, no waiting on a verification link.
Built with security first
Fully encrypted sessions
Every connection is encrypted end-to-end, so nobody in between can see or tamper with your screen, files, or input.
Password-protected access
Every session requires a password. There's no way for anyone to connect without one — not even by accident.
Verified updates
Every update is checked before it's installed, so you're always running software you can trust.
