You opened a free remote desktop tool to fix one thing on a machine in the next room. Forty seconds in, the session drops. A banner says “Commercial use detected.” You weren't doing anything commercial. There is a form. The form takes days — sometimes weeks — to resolve, if it resolves at all. In the meantime you cannot reach your own computer.
If you searched remote desktop without commercial use detection, you already know this loop. This page is about how Scry is built so it never happens.
The big incumbents fund a free personal tier by aggressively pushing anyone who looks like a business onto a paid plan. To do that they watch your sessions — connection frequency, session length, how many machines, whether a pattern “looks” commercial — and when a heuristic trips, the free session is throttled or cut. The heuristic has no idea whether you're a sysadmin or a person helping a parent print a boarding pass. It guesses, and it guesses conservatively, because a false “commercial” flag costs them nothing and a missed one costs them a sale.
Scry does not run that heuristic. Scry never asks what a session is for and never ends one because of how you use it. There is no session-pattern classifier, no 60-second timer, no reconnect penalty, no appeal form, on any plan.
Scry is genuinely complete for the single-machine, single-screen case, and you can try every feature free for 24 hours with no card, or start the monthly or annual plan with 7 days free:
Host a Mac, Windows PC or Linux machine
Connect from another computer, an iPhone, iPad or Android phone, or a current desktop browser (tested in Chrome), with no extension required on the viewing side.
End-to-end encrypted connection over WebRTC
WebRTC is an open, audited standard, not a proprietary black box. The connection is end-to-end encrypted with DTLS-SRTP — see the encryption note below.
Full control of one screen
Keyboard and mouse, display streaming, clipboard text sync, automatic quality tuning, and reconnect after a network flap.
No watermark, no nag wall, no session timer
No session timer and no idle disconnect. No reclassification waiting to disconnect you, on any plan.
Once you're in, everything is included — there's no basic-vs-Pro feature split. In-session file transfer ships on every platform, and you can hand someone a one-time code to join a session from the apps or the web (you both need Scry and an active plan or trial); codes are session-scoped, so there's no persistent shared-device list. Sessions stream one display at a time, and you can flip between displays mid-session. Sound plays from Mac, Windows and Linux hosts, on by default, with a mute button, and the iPhone, iPad and Android apps are included too.
Scry sessions run over an end-to-end encrypted WebRTC connection using DTLS-SRTP. Your two devices negotiate the encryption keys; our relay only exchanges connection details and, when a direct path isn't possible, forwards already-encrypted packets it cannot read. The relay in the middle can't decrypt your screen, your input or your clipboard.
Scry is $9.99/month, $95.99/year, or $399 once for lifetime (the lifetime also unlocks the 8 other Bravely utilities). Monthly starts with a 7-day free trial, and a credit card is required to start it. In-session file transfer and one-time share codes are included, along with display switching, sound, and the iPhone, iPad and Android apps. There is no commercial-use reclassification waiting to disconnect you on any plan.
Mac, Windows, Linux and the browser. No detection, no timer, no nag. Start with 7 days free, then $9.99/mo, or a $399 lifetime.
Free for 24 hours: every feature, no card.
