Everyday development
Use the IDE, terminals and project tools installed on the Windows host. The build runs on that machine, using its processor, memory and local environment.
Your development setup.
Already there.
Keep your IDE, SDKs, build tools and working tree on one Windows workstation. Remotle brings that desktop to your laptop or another desk, so changing location does not mean rebuilding the development environment.1
Leave the setup.
Keep the session.
A useful development machine includes more than an editor: dependencies, environment settings, terminals and project tools all matter. Reach the configured workstation and keep using that environment.
Disconnect when you close the laptop and the workstation keeps running. Reconnect later to the host, subject to its normal Windows session, restart and maintenance policies.
Graphics & desktop tools
Reach Windows applications that need the workstation GPU or its configured toolchain. Use a Mac or another supported device to display the Windows desktop.
A different desk
Move between a home setup, an office desk and a travelling laptop. Sign in to Remotle, choose the assigned workstation and return to the development machine.
The editor. The terminal.
The rest of the desk.
Test the remote environment with the small interactions that add up over a full development day.
- Text & layout
- Check syntax colours, terminal text and editor scaling with full-colour desktop transport. Arrange your editor, browser and documentation across multiple displays.
- Keyboard workflow
- Try the shortcuts, key combinations and pointing devices you use in the IDE. Include your actual Mac or Windows client keyboard in the evaluation.
- Build & reconnect
- Start a representative build on the host and test disconnecting and reconnecting. Host availability and maintenance remain part of your normal workstation management.
Your laptop is the way in.
The workstation does the work.
Use the client app on a mobile device or a zero client at a fixed desk. The connection broker is included, so assigned development machines appear by name after sign-in.
Remote desktop, connection broker and zero client mode, together. Compare the whole route from the Windows workstation to the desk, including the client device and the people who use it.
A simpler desk.
A full workstation.
Open your real repo.
Work a normal day.
Use the configured workstation and endpoint you intend to rely on, rather than an empty editor.
- Edit, build and debug a representative Windows project.
- Check shortcuts, terminal text and your screen layout.
- Disconnect and reconnect from the home or office connection.
