About

Thincast Client allows you to connect to virtual applications and desktops over the RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol). It offers features like built-in support for redirecting webcams, configuring remote apps, regular security updates and hardware-accelerated video decoding to extend the battery life of your device, ideal when working on the go. Using the Remote Desktop (RD) WebAccess Client you gain easy access to and control of published virtual machines (with Thincast Workstation), desktop sessions and applications. Initial support for 64-bit ARM based devices (aarch64 only) like Raspberry Pi has been added with V. 1.0.184. As of today, we are the main contributor to the FreeRDP project.
