DesktopWhat you need to know
DesktopBee helps you start a remote desktop session from another Windows computer or from a modern browser. In the current free preview, each connection requires a temporary access code and an approval on the Windows host. That makes it useful for a planned support call, helping a family member, or reaching a PC while someone is there to approve.
Start with the host PC
Install and open DesktopBee on the Windows computer that will be shared. The app displays a stable nine-digit computer ID and a temporary code. The person at the host decides when to share that information and whether a request should be accepted.
Connect from Windows or a browser
The other person can use the DesktopBee Windows client or open the browser viewer. They enter the computer ID and code, then wait for the host to approve the connection. A second Windows install is not needed when the viewer uses the browser.
Give only the access needed
Choose View Only for a demonstration or troubleshooting conversation. Choose Full Control only when keyboard and mouse access is necessary. The person at the host can restrict control during a session and disconnect when finished.
What Free does not promise
This is an early preview, not a guaranteed alternative to every commercial remote desktop product. Unattended access, end-to-end encryption and some collaboration features are still planned. Avoid sensitive or regulated systems until security testing and release review are complete.
Frequently asked questions
Is DesktopBee actually free?
The current Free preview costs $0. Pro is planned and there is no active paid checkout.
Can I connect from an iPhone or Mac?
A browser viewer may be usable in compatible browsers, but native macOS, iOS and Android applications have not been released. The remote host must be a Windows PC.
Can I use it when nobody is at the remote computer?
Not in the current preview. The host must share a current code and explicitly approve the session.
