Built for the rig you actually use.
The open-source, low-latency remote desktop for creative professionals and indie game developers. Host on Linux or Windows, stream with 4:4:4 color and pen support.
Built for the way you actually work
No cloud lock-in. No telemetry. No "phone home". Just a fast, reliable remote desktop that you control end to end.
Perceptible zero latency
Built on native QUIC datagrams instead of TCP. Sub-20ms RTT on local networks means your clicks and pen strokes feel local.
4:4:4 color & 144Hz
Stream high-fidelity 4K footage at 144Hz. Full chroma preservation (4:4:4) keeps text readable and colors precise.
Stylus & tablet pass-through
Low-overhead input redirection preserves pressure sensitivity and tilt for graphics tablets (Wacom, etc.) without jitter.
Cross-platform hosting
Wayland (PipeWire), X11, and Windows DXGI display capture. One unified client connects to any system.
End-to-end encrypted
Built-in TLS 1.3. Pairing tokens remain on-device. Relayed data is fully encrypted with TUF-secured client updates.
Single static binary
Written in Rust with zero Electron bloat, no telemetry, and no mandatory cloud accounts. Run it anywhere.
Three commands. That's the whole flow.
No accounts. No dashboards. No "first-run wizard". The CLI is the API.
Install the host agent
One command on the machine you want to control. Registers itself on the local network via mDNS.
Pair your client
On your laptop, scan the QR code or paste the 6-word pairing phrase. Tokens live only on your devices.
Connect
Direct QUIC if reachable, relayed via the optional signaling server otherwise. Resume from where you left off.
What Qubox is, and what it isn't
closeNOT
Not a Parsec mod. An independent, custom protocol and native engine designed for high performance.
Not cloud-locked. Run direct P2P connection, or self-host your own relay cluster.
Not Windows-only. Linux hosting is a first-class citizen with native Wayland, PipeWire, and uinput.
Not a meeting tool. Designed for deep remote workstation operations, game dev, and rendering.
checkYES
Apache-2.0, open-source forever. The code is yours to inspect, modify, and host.
End-to-end encrypted with native TLS 1.3.
Updates signed via TUF. Zero auto-update lock-in or forced upgrades.
Built for creative tools. Deep integration with Blender, Unreal, DaVinci, and Wacom styluses.
