Description
RDesk lets IT help desks see and control a Windows PC or Android phone straight from the browser — nothing to install for the technician. The person at the computer always clicks Allow, file access is a separate Allow, and a visible banner shows who is connected with an End button. Unattended access is opt-in and password-protected. Multi-tenant team accounts, per-user agent books, session history and self-hosting.

Could you build this?
Partial While the web technician interface is easy to construct, developing the secure low-level host agents that stream desktop video and inject OS-level inputs across Windows and Android requires native systems programming and WebRTC signaling.
What it would actually take: The system requires native client agents (C++/C# for Windows using Desktop Duplication API and SendInput; Java/Kotlin with MediaProjection and AccessibilityService for Android) connected via WebRTC to a browser frontend. A TURN/STUN signaling backend handles peer discovery and session state. The hard parts are OS permission handling, NAT traversal, low-latency video encoding (H.264/VP9), and maintaining robust input capture without triggering security warnings.
