Deskbora › AnyDesk alternative
An AnyDesk alternative built for support work
AnyDesk is a well-known remote desktop tool. Deskbora does the same job — seeing and controlling another computer over the internet — but it is designed for people who help others: freelance technicians, help desks and IT teams.
Why people look for an alternative
Usually the free plan is not enough to work with, the cost per technician does not suit a small team, or plain remote control is not enough: you also want to talk to the person, bring in a colleague or keep a record of what was done.
What Deskbora offers
- The technician installs nothing: they connect from the browser using the computer's number.
- The person being helped only opens a single-file program, with no installation and no administrator rights.
- Built-in voice: you talk over the same connection, no phone call needed.
- Several technicians in the same session, each with their own cursor, name and colour.
- Chat, shared clipboard and file transfer verified with SHA-256.
- Session recording, history and a PDF report of every session.
- Unattended access to your own computers, protected by a password.
Security and consent
Every connection is end-to-end encrypted and needs the person to accept on their screen or hand over a temporary code. While someone is connected a permanent bar with a stop button stays visible, and both sides can compare a security code to confirm nobody is in the middle.
What to know before switching
Today Deskbora runs on Windows and Linux computers; the technician can work from any modern browser. If you need to control macOS computers, it is not the tool for that case yet.
What it costs
There is a free-forever plan, a plan for one person and business plans for several technicians. You pay for your support team, not per connection, and there is no lock-in.
Frequently asked questions
Is Deskbora free?
Yes, there is a free plan with no time limit and unlimited connections by number and code. Paid plans add more computers, more technicians, unattended access and full history.
Do I need to install anything to help a customer?
No. The technician signs in from the browser. Only the computer receiving help runs Deskbora, and it does not need installing.
Can I get into a computer when nobody is there?
Yes, with unattended access: the owner of the computer turns it on with their own password, and it only works with computers linked to your account.
Does it work behind a router or in another city?
Yes. Deskbora looks for a direct route between the two computers and, when the network does not allow one, relays the session through a server with the same encryption.
