Remote Desktop Manager for PC
Reviewed by Apps Playground Editorial Team · Updated

IT professionals and system administrators who juggle multiple remote machines benefit from keeping Remote Desktop Manager on a desktop computer where a keyboard and mouse make navigation faster than on mobile. The app consolidates access to servers, virtual machines, and workstations (along with all your stored passwords and credentials) in one interface you can launch from your work desk. Running Remote Desktop Manager on PC lets you stay signed into a centralized database and pull up any remote connection without fumbling through a phone screen.
Remote Desktop Manager reshapes how you connect to distant systems when you're working from your computer. With support for RDP, SSH, VNC, and a dozen other protocols, the app handles the bulk of enterprise remote access needs. Installing Remote Desktop Manager for Windows PC gives you immediate access to whatever infrastructure you've already configured, whether that's a local XML file or a cloud-hosted Devolutions database synced across your team.
Supported Connection Types and Protocols
The app's scope across remote protocols is substantial. You get the major players (Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol, VNC, SSH Shell, and Apple Remote Desktop) plus specialized tools like Azure Storage Explorer, Amazon AWS Console, FTP, SFTP, and Dell iDRAC for hardware management. This breadth means you're unlikely to encounter a remote system type the app can't handle.
How a Typical Remote Session Unfolds
Opening a connection is straightforward once you've stored your credentials. Here's the flow:
- Launch Remote Desktop Manager for computer and authenticate to your database
- Browse or search for the remote server or workstation you need
- Select the connection and choose your protocol
- Credentials auto-fill from your stored vault
- The remote display appears in your window, ready for keyboard and mouse input
- Your session remains active as long as the connection is open
Password and Credential Management
Storing login details inside Remote Desktop Manager keeps you from scattering passwords across sticky notes and email drafts. The app lets you save generic credentials or pull from enterprise vaults. Dashlane, LastPass, Passwordstate, Secret Server, and others. A centralized credential store becomes especially valuable when you're managing Remote PC and Mac control across a team and need to share access without exposing raw passwords.
Database Flexibility for Team Environments
Remote Desktop Manager supports multiple data sources: SQL Server, MySQL, Amazon S3, Dropbox, WebDAV, FTP, and Devolutions' own cloud options. This flexibility which lets you run the app on PC connected to whatever backend your organization already uses. Teams benefit from a shared database where connection settings and credentials stay synchronized: everyone pulls the same, up-to-date configs without duplicating work. Remote screen extension across multiple team members becomes simpler when the infrastructure is unified.
Additional Integration Points
The app includes Samsung DeX support for those using a desktop-like environment on a phone, proxy and gateway options for routing through corporate firewalls, and SSH tunneling for added security layers. These are advanced moves, but they're built in for users who need them.

FAQ
Does Remote Desktop Manager on PC sync with the mobile version?
Yes. If you set up a centralized database (Devolutions cloud, SQL Server, or another supported source) both your desktop and phone versions access the same connections and credentials. Changes you make on one device appear on the other.
What if I don't have a team database yet?
You can store connections and passwords in a local XML file and manage them entirely offline on your PC. This works for solo users or small setups that don't need cloud sync.
Does the app work with non-Windows servers?
Absolutely. With support for SSH, VNC, Apple Remote Desktop, and other protocols alongside RDP, Remote Desktop Manager handles Linux, macOS, and other Unix-like systems just as easily as Windows machines.
Can I access my connections from multiple computers?
If you use a cloud or server-based database, yes: log in from any PC running Remote Desktop Manager and you'll see all your stored connections and credentials. Local XML files stay on a single machine unless you manually sync them.
What security features protect my stored passwords?
The app supports master keys and PIN protection to prevent unauthorized access to your credential vault. Credentials stored in the app are encrypted within your chosen database.
