Remote desktop in the browser — no install

The browser client is a real, shipped feature

Scry's browser client is not a stripped-down demo. From a current desktop browser, sign in and connect to your Mac, Windows PC or Linux machine: keyboard and mouse control, display streaming, clipboard text sync, and in-session file transfer, over an end-to-end encrypted WebRTC connection. Nothing to install on the viewing side. It's a first-class client, included with your Scry account.

Why WebRTC matters here (and why we're allowed to name it)

Most “browser remote desktop” tools either bolt a heavy plugin onto the page or tunnel a legacy protocol through a relay. Scry uses WebRTC — the same open, audited, browser-native real-time standard used for video calls. That means:

• No browser extension, no plugin. The transport is built into the browser already.
• An open standard, not a proprietary codec you have to trust blindly.
• Direct peer connection where the network allows it, with a relay fallback when it doesn't.

WebRTC is a deliberate, named part of Scry's design — we're naming it because it's a real differentiator buyers check for, not infrastructure trivia.

Honest limits

• Browser sessions stream one display at a time. Got more than one? Flip between them mid-session and keep working.
• You still install a host app on the machine you want to reach: “no install” applies to the viewing side, not the host. We won't blur that.
• From the browser, send files to the computer you control, where someone clicks Save. Sound plays from Mac, Windows and Linux hosts, on by default, with a mute button.
• The connection is end-to-end encrypted (WebRTC, DTLS-SRTP); the relay never sees your screen.
