Remote desktop with the consent of the person at the other computer
Rimokon lets you see and control another computer. Every session is approved by the person at the shared computer, encrypted between the two computers, and can be ended at once from either side.
Private preview. Rimokon is not published yet. A small invited group is trying it; there is nothing to download here and no account to create. This page describes what is built today.
How it works
- Two ways to connect. An invitation created at the shared computer, or a nine digit partner ID and a password shown there. The password is checked with a method that never reveals it to any server.
- Consent first. The person at the shared computer compares the identities shown on both screens and approves each session: view only, or view and control.
- Encrypted end to end. The picture, keyboard, mouse, clipboard, files, chat and sound travel encrypted between the two computers, also when a relay carries them.
- Visible control. A session bar shows the connection on both sides; Disconnect, Stop sharing or a key press ends it immediately.
What is built
| Feature | Windows | Linux | Mac |
|---|---|---|---|
| Share this computer | Yes | Yes (X11 and Wayland desktops) | Not yet |
| See and control another computer | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Invitation and partner ID connections | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Text clipboard, files, chat | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Sound from the shared computer | Yes | Yes | Not yet |
| Session recording | Yes | Not yet | Not yet |

| Interface in English and Portuguese | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Direct connections are tried first; when a network does not allow them, an authenticated relay carries the encrypted session. Accounts, subscriptions and public downloads are planned and not available yet.
Security and reporting
Sessions are approved at the shared computer, identities are compared on both screens, and no server can see or control a computer. If you find a security problem, write to security@rimokon.net (also in security.txt). Please give us time to fix it before publishing details.
