TASTEREMOTE is a remote desktop that companies and individuals install on their own server. The server runs signaling, web and TURN (relay), and the host app is installed on the computers to be reached (Windows, macOS or Linux, including headless servers). Remote control happens in a web browser with nothing to install, and on a phone browser you use touchpad mode and an on-screen keyboard. Screen, sound, input and files are end-to-end encrypted with WebRTC (DTLS-SRTP), so even when they pass through the server and the relay, not even the operator can see them. The host app is downloaded from that server, and its updates follow that server's version. Individuals use it for free; companies and public institutions use it with a server licence. TASTEDEV runs remote.tastedev.net itself.

Install TASTEREMOTE on a server, set the HTTPS address and TURN with the server setup wizard, then create the first admin account.
On the computer to be reached, get the host app from that server's download page and install it; an ID and a one-time password appear.
Connect by ID from a browser, or register the computer to your account as one of your devices for unattended access.
Viewers connect from a web browser with nothing to install. On a phone, control it with touchpad mode and an on-screen keyboard, and add it to the home screen to open it like an app.
The computer being reached can run Windows, macOS or Linux, and the host also runs as a service on headless Linux servers.
Connect straight away with an ID and a one-time password, or reach devices registered to your account even when no one is there (unattended access). Group devices into workspaces.
When another account asks to connect to a registered PC, an approval prompt appears with the email the server has verified. There are trusted email and block lists, a lock on repeated requests, and session records.
Choose among multiple monitors and switch quality (Auto, High quality, Low bandwidth). It sends up to 60 fps at native resolution up to 4K (H.264) and shows connection statistics.
Send and receive files and browse the host's files, share the text clipboard both ways and hear the host's sound. Shortcuts such as Ctrl+Alt+Del can be sent too.
Save a session as video in the viewer's browser or on the host. The side being reached sees a recording indicator.
Several people can watch in view-only mode while one person controls. Hand over control without dropping the session, and on Windows you can block input on the side being reached.
Manage members (suspend, reset password, invite), sign-up mode, announcements, branding, licences and server updates on the web. A server setup wizard helps with nginx and certificate settings.
Screen, sound, input and files are encrypted with DTLS-SRTP. Device passwords are stored with PBKDF2, and device access tokens are signed by the server, valid for 60 seconds and usable once.

The docs only list environments verified for each product. “Being verified” means support isn't confirmed yet.
The key features in these docs and the product page are written based on the current project source.
