TunaDesk - Remote Desktop Control via Web Browser With Full Privacy

TunaDesk is a cross platform remote desktop control app that runs within Ant Media Server. The controller user can connect and control the remote host through a web browser. The host application is an Electron app that runs on the controlled computer. The controller sends mouse and keyboard events to the host, which executes the corresponding commands. The session is completely secure and private as all data flows through Ant Media Server using WebRTC data channels.
