Why TDesk
Six highlights for the vibe coding era
From an AI host on your desk to vibe coding on a phone—open source, local-only, and ready when you are.
-
AI host
AI hosts need no peripherals
AI hosts don't need a dedicated keyboard or mouse. Take over anytime from a laptop, phone, or tablet on the same LAN.
-
Vibe coding
Phone & tablet as coding remotes
Turn a phone or pad into your vibe-coding control surface. Skip flying mice, presentation remotes, and other one-purpose gadgets.
-
Privacy
Open source. Runs locally.
Fully open source and LAN-first—no public cloud relay in the path. Your screen and keystrokes stay on the network you trust.
-
Zero install
Install on the host only
Put TDesk on the machine you want controlled. Controllers open the browser URL on the same network—no client app required.
-
Multi-device
One app, many machines
Manage any number of hosts from the TDesk app—switch desks, lab boxes, and workstations without juggling separate tools.
-
Open iteration
Open source that ships faster
In the AI era, an open desktop-control stack can evolve with the community—features land where real workflows need them.
Three steps
See the repository README for end-user usage and build instructions.
