Remote desktop in the browser — no install

Reach your Mac or PC from any modern browser, with nothing to install on the viewing side. Built on WebRTC, transport-encrypted, free for single-monitor.

Mac · Windows · browser · 0.1.x public preview

Sometimes you can't install anything on the machine you're sitting at — a locked-down work laptop, a friend's computer, a library PC. You still need to reach your own desktop. If you searched remote desktop in browser no install, here's how Scry handles it.

The browser client is a real, shipped, free feature

Scry's browser client is not a stripped-down demo. From any modern browser, sign in and connect to a paired Mac or Windows host: full keyboard and mouse control, primary-display streaming, clipboard text sync — over a transport-encrypted WebRTC connection. Nothing to install on the viewing side. This is part of the free single-monitor tier, not a paid add-on.

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 are single-monitor on the free tier. Multi-monitor is Pro and in preview at the 0.1.x stage.
  • You still install a small host app on the machine you want to reach — “no install” applies to the viewing side, not the host. We won't blur that.
  • Audio and file transfer are Pro and in preview.
  • Connection is transport-encrypted (WebRTC). Not end-to-end; we don't claim that yet.
  • There is no free mobile — iOS and Android are Pro-only by design.

Reach your desktop from any browser.

No plugin, no extension, nothing to install on the viewing side. Free single-monitor over a transport-encrypted WebRTC connection.
