What Glintdesk is
Glintdesk lets you access and control a PC from a phone, tablet, or another computer. It is listed for Windows, Android, and iOS, with file transfer, session recording, and mobile apps. Streaming uses hardware-accelerated H.265 and AV1 over UDP, with a reported 12 ms median input-to-pixel latency. Sessions use AES-256 keys generated on users’ devices, and the maker says relay servers cannot decrypt session content. The product describes up to three virtual displays, independent scaling, and per-monitor color profiles. Wake-on-LAN, auto-reconnect, USB and audio forwarding, and remappable keyboard and gamepad overlays are included features. The Free plan costs $0 forever during public beta; Premium costs $3.90 per month. One account can register unlimited PCs, phones, and tablets, while active remote control is typically one session at a time. The maker presents creators, gamers, and IT teams as use cases.
