AnyDesk is a remote control app that lets you use your Android device to control your Windows, macOS, or Linux computer.

When it comes to remote control software, there are dozens of different apps to choose from. Unfortunately, some of those programs can be extremely pricey while others are so laggy that they are nearly impossible to use. If you have been looking for a simple, secure, and free remote control app, then you might want to take a look at AnyDesk.

Setting up this software on multiple devices is a simple task that should take you no more than a few minutes. Once AnyDesk has been installed, you will need to set up an account with the developer in order to get a PIN. That PIN is going to give you the ability to connect any two devices almost immediately as long as you have a solid internet connection.

To start AnyDesk, all you have to do is load the app on both of your devices and then input your PIN. From there, you are going to have almost full control of the remote system. You will be able to take a look at your files, carry out updates, and even stream videos. This app also has a collaboration tool that lets multiple parties take control of a device at once.

In order to lower the latency during your sessions, AnyDesks’s development team has created an exciting new codec that encodes and decodes all of your data. With that improved latency, you can carry out complex tasks without much lag. If you or your company are now utilizing cloud services, then you can simply load this app on your server as well.

While every remote streaming app is going to have some latency issues, this company has done a great job of minimizing those problems. Overall, this is an excellent piece of software that is perfect for private and commercial use.

Pros:

  • Most features are free to use
  • Very low latency
  • Works on multiple devices and operating systems

Cons:

  • Reconnecting to sessions is tricky
  • Small issues with keyboard
