Remote access, rebuilt for phones
AuraDesk is a new kind of remote access. Instead of shrinking your whole desktop onto a small screen and handing you a magnifying glass, AuraDesk presents your open programs as windows you switch between, each one shaped to your phone, in a native app built for thumbs. When you are done, your desktop is exactly as you left it.
In active development by Mylestone Innovations, Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada.
Every remote desktop app on your phone today shows you the same thing: your entire desktop, miniaturised. AuraDesk starts from the opposite end.
Windows, not a mirror
Your open programs appear in a tab strip, like tabs in a mobile browser, including the ones tucked away out of sight. Tap one and it fills your screen: readable, tappable, workable. No pinching at a postage stamp, no dragging a giant desktop around behind a tiny window.
Shaped to your screen
The window you choose is centred and sized to your phone, with size options when you want more room or more detail. Two windows at once? Split the screen and keep both in view. A window that cannot be reshaped still works: you are told plainly, and you glide across it instead.
Left as you left it
However a session ends, finished, interrupted, or cut off mid-thought, your desktop goes back to exactly how it was: every window where you left it, every size as you set it. AuraDesk borrows your computer. It never rearranges it.
The file you forgot to send. The render you need to check. The document that lives on the office machine and nowhere else.
Pair once
Pair your phone and your computer with a QR code, approved on the desktop itself. After that, open the app whenever your computer is on and you are in. No addresses to type, no settings to memorise.
Work naturally
Pinch to zoom into the detail. A scroll control that scrolls the document when you are reading, and moves your view when you are zoomed in. A keyboard, modifiers, and controls placed where your thumbs already are.
Yours alone
Your sessions are encrypted, pairing happens only with your approval on your own desktop, and your screen is your business: never recorded, never sold, never used to train anything. See our privacy commitments.
AuraDesk is being built now, as a native app for iPhone and Android with a companion desktop app. It will be available on the App Store and Google Play when it is ready, and not a day before it deserves to be.
