What is Nexjoin?

Nexjoin is a lightweight remote desktop and window sharing tool for Windows and macOS, written in native C++ by a single developer. Besides full-desktop control, it can bring individual windows from one or more remote machines onto the local desktop, where they can be resized and used like local apps, including the remote macOS menu bar. It runs on systems from Windows XP SP3 up to Windows 11 (32- and 64-bit) and on macOS 10.13 or later, on both Intel and Apple Silicon.

Connections are peer-to-peer over QUIC or TCP, with relay servers used only as a fallback, and it can also work completely offline on a local network. Traffic is end-to-end encrypted, and device metadata and saved credentials are encrypted on the client so the servers cannot read them. Accounts support two-factor authentication.

Other features include rich clipboard sync, multi-gigabyte file and folder copy between machines, multi-monitor and Retina support, a hidden virtual session or remote screen blanking, access to disconnected Windows Terminal Sessions and macOS Fast User Switching desktops, and two keyboard input modes. The viewer can run portable without installation. Sharing a machine requires installing it, either ad hoc with a 9-digit Join Code and no account, or for permanent unattended access. Nexjoin is currently in public beta.
