About this application

HopToDesk is a remote desktop program for reaching computers you already have access to. It draws the remote machine's screen in a local window and sends keyboard and pointer input back to that machine, so the session stands in for sitting at the far keyboard. Typical uses are attending to a headless or distant workstation, helping another person at their own desk, or keeping one working environment while moving between rooms or sites.

The build listed here targets Linux, so this entry says nothing about availability on other operating systems; pairing a Linux desktop with a phone or a Windows box would depend on components obtained separately. Because a remote session carries the whole desktop, network conditions and screen resolution shape how usable it feels more than any single setting does.

The project is published by Begonia Holdings under AGPL-3.0-only. The AGPL's network clause matters if you plan to modify the code and offer the result as a service to others, since the obligation to release source follows that use as well as ordinary distribution.
