WHY DISTANCE

A remote desktop that forgets it is remote

Everything is tuned for the one thing that matters: the gap between what you do and what you see. Close it, and remote stops feeling like a compromise.

Single-digit latency

Our protocol predicts your input and shaves every redundant round trip, so the cursor lands where your hand expects it - even over coffee-shop Wi-Fi.

Any screen, full power

Drive a 32-core workstation from a thin laptop or a tablet. Distance does the lifting; the device in your hands just paints pixels.

Locked down by default

Sessions are end-to-end encrypted and pinned to your devices. Keys never touch our servers, and access dies the moment you sign out.

Routed through the edge

Forty-plus regions mean the closest relay is always a few milliseconds away. Travel anywhere; your desk follows at the speed of light.

Built for real work

Color-accurate video, low-latency audio, multi-monitor, USB passthrough, and clipboard sync that just works across every platform.

Set up in a minute

Install the agent, scan a code, and you are in. No VPN gymnastics, no port forwarding, no IT ticket - it works on the first try.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps to your desk, from anywhere on earth

  1. 01

    Install the agent

    Drop it on the machine you want to reach. It registers in seconds and stays quiet until you call.

  2. 02

    Connect from anywhere

    Open Distance on any device and pick your machine. The nearest edge relay handles the rest.

  3. 03

    Work like you are there

    Full resolution, full speed, full control. Close the lid when you are done; the session ends with it.

THE SESSION

What lightspeed actually looks like

A live Distance session reports its own health while you work. Frames, latency, and bandwidth, all measured per second, all kept honest.
