mRemote is a full-featured, open source, multi-tab remote connections manager that allows users to manage all remote connections from within its single user interface. Computer users can run multiple instances of Remote Desktop, VNC remote control connections and other remote host access or transmission protocol applications on local PC. However, many programs have to be ran, occupying system resources and cluttering up Windows Taskbar.

With mRemote, all remote connections can be connected to and managed all from within one place – the application interface of mRemote with tabbing support. mRemote is essentially similar to Terminal Server Manager MMC snap-in, but it supports more remote control and access protocols. Features of mRemote include:

  • Free and Open Source, released under the GPL.
  • Panels and tabs allow to group certain connections together, dock them to any side of the window or completely undock them and move them to another screen for example.
  • Multiple supported protocols (RDP, VNC, ICA, SSH, Telnet, RAW, Rlogin and HTTP/S).
  • Easy to organize and maintain list of connections.
  • Inheritance makes it possible to store properties on folder basis and let the underlying connections inherit this info.
