Hi! I’m looking for a remote access application that works with Mac, as well as Windows and Linux. I need an alternative to Teamviewer.
I’ve been using TeamViewer for a long time, but the connection often gets interrupted due to usage limits. Anydesk works pretty well too but the free version has its own limitations.
Are there any other options you’ve tried and would recommend?
Thanks!
So to be specific, you want a free remote access application that works with every OS, without limitations. Cause you’ve already named two of the biggest.
A tool I used last century was VNC. If you’re looking for a free, lightweight tool for basic remote access, VNC is one choice. macOS has a built-in VNC server called Screen Sharing. As it was long ago since I used it, other may have better memory than I have. Or try the old Google searching for VNC.
I recently read an article that talked about RustDesk and how well it works. I haven’t tried it myself, but may be worth a look.

RustDesk => open-source, completely free for personal use and works across Mac, Windows and Linux.
Chrome Remote Desktop => lightweight, free and because it runs through your browser, it’s super easy to set up on any platform
I was recently looking for a Teamviewer alternative and found a few good options here https://mac.eltima.com/best-remote-desktop-app-for-mac/ there’s a description and a comparison too.
