Remote desktop in the browser — no install

The browser client is a real, shipped feature

Scry's browser client is not a stripped-down demo. From any modern browser, sign in and connect to a paired Mac or Windows host: full keyboard and mouse control, primary-display streaming, clipboard text sync, and in-session file transfer — over an end-to-end encrypted WebRTC connection. Nothing to install on the viewing side. It's a first-class client, included with your Scry account.

Why WebRTC matters here (and why we're allowed to name it)

Most “browser remote desktop” tools either bolt a heavy plugin onto the page or tunnel a legacy protocol through a relay. Scry uses WebRTC — the same open, audited, browser-native real-time standard used for video calls. That means:

• No browser extension, no plugin. The transport is built into the browser already.
• An open standard, not a proprietary codec you have to trust blindly.
• Direct peer connection where the network allows it, with a relay fallback when it doesn't.

WebRTC is a deliberate, named part of Scry's design — we're naming it because it's a real differentiator buyers check for, not infrastructure trivia.

Honest limits

• Browser sessions are single-monitor today. Multi-monitor is in preview at the 0.1.x stage.
• You still install a small host app on the machine you want to reach — “no install” applies to the viewing side, not the host. We won't blur that.
• File transfer is live in the browser client: send and receive files in-session. Audio is Pro and in preview.
• Connection is end-to-end encrypted (WebRTC DTLS-SRTP, peer-to-peer) — the relay never sees your screen.
• The iOS and Android apps are still maturing at the 0.1.x stage.
