Mac RDP is an open-source Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client designed exclusively for macOS, providing a seamless, native-feeling experience. Leveraging the power of Tauri and Rust for core performance and network protocol handling, and React + Vite for a buttery-smooth developer and user experience.
- Blazing Fast: Uses Rust back-end to handle high-performance desktop streaming.
- Small Footprint: Powered by Webview, replacing electron with a much lighter alternative.
- Native Experience: Native OS menus, window management, and shortcuts.
- Modern UI: Clean and intuitive React-based user interface.
