One-time code
9 random digits live for 10 minutes (or 5, or 15) and burn after the first attempt — they can't be guessed or reused.
Desk Pick · Remote desktop
Help with any computer from afar — with one code
Desk Pick opens another computer's screen in a window: mouse, keyboard and pasting text work as if you were sitting there. Connecting takes a one-time code and the owner's permission.
Free · Windows 10 and 11 · macOS coming soon
Connected in half a minute
The same app on both computers. No addresses, ports or network settings.

Share the code
The person who needs help clicks “Give access” and reads out 9 digits. The code works for 10 minutes and only once.

Allow the connection
The helper enters the code, and the first computer asks for permission. Nothing is shared until someone clicks “Allow”.
- manual approval
- a minute to answer

Work together
Screen, mouse, keyboard and pasting text — just like sitting side by side. Access can be closed at any moment.
- mouse and keyboard
- Ctrl+V
Everything for helping remotely
Simple for the person asking for help, handy for the one helping.
Full control
Mouse moves, clicks, wheel, drag and drop, and the keyboard. Or switch on view-only.
Paste text
Ctrl+V pastes text from your clipboard on the remote computer — no need to dictate passwords or addresses.
Direct connection
Picture and input go straight between the two computers, with no server of ours in the middle, and are always encrypted (DTLS/SRTP).
Quality for the task
Sharp text, balanced or smooth — and the video bitrate adapts to the network on its own.
One Pick account
Signing in is optional. The account is the same as in VPN Pick — by email or with Google.
Nobody gets in without your “yes”
Desk Pick gives access to a computer, so its owner controls every connection.
Approval every time
Each connection has to be allowed by hand. No answer within a minute means no.
The code burns
Whatever happens — allowed, declined or expired — the invitation is deleted.
WebRTC encryption
Video and input are always encrypted: it's a mandatory part of WebRTC.
You stay in charge
Disconnect the guest with one button, or switch off control to leave them view-only.
Never give your code to strangers: whoever connects sees your screen.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Yes. Desk Pick is free, and an account is optional.
Do I need to set up my router or open ports?
No. The computers find each other on their own. If both networks are very strict (some mobile and corporate ones), a direct connection isn't possible — the app will tell you so.
Can I see the Windows sign-in screen and admin windows?
Not yet: Windows protects the sign-in screen, the lock screen and UAC prompts separately. Programs run as administrator can't be controlled either.
Why does Windows warn me during installation?
The installer isn't signed with a paid certificate yet. Click “More info” → “Run anyway”. You can verify the file by its SHA-256 on the download page.
Is there a Mac version?
The macOS version is in the works and will appear on the download page. You'll be able to connect between Windows and Mac both ways.
Helping is easier than explaining
Download Desk Pick on both computers and connect with a code.
