DeskVNC is a native remote desktop client for Windows, macOS and Linux: VNC, RDP and SSH in one window, with a host library that remembers every machine. No account, no telemetry, passwords in your OS keychain, nothing gated behind a paid tier, fully opensource. Agentic control plane lets an AI agent drive those same connections, with nothing installed on the target so it reaches Citrix, VDI and jump hosts where agent-based tools get refused.

Could you build this?

No Implementing a high-performance native multi-protocol remote desktop client (VNC, RDP, SSH) with OS keychain security and an agentic control plane requires deep low-level networking, native desktop GUI programming (C++/Rust), and protocol implementation.

What it would actually take: The architecture requires Rust/C++ or native GUI toolkits wrapping libvncclient, FreeRDP, and libssh, combined with native OS keychain bindings. Key challenges include handling high-performance hardware-accelerated video decoding, rendering remote desktop streams with low latency, and building secure local sandboxed IPC channels for AI agent input automation.
