Deploying remote desktop software shouldn't start with firewall configuration and procurement delays. DeskZap runs on a single VPS and deploys in under five minutes from sign-up to first session. Create a workspace, install the operator client, add a remote machine and connect with AES-256 encrypted remote access. No VPN, no firewall rules, no infrastructure tickets. Built for UK teams that need secure remote desktop ready on day one.

AI that does the busywork of support.
Automatic session summaries, insight dashboards and an in-session assistant — built in, and a fraction of the price of the incumbents.
Every session, documented for you.
The moment a session ends, DeskZap writes up the issue, the steps you took and how it was resolved — with smart tags and an audit-ready record. Editable and verifiable, so you approve what becomes team knowledge.
See the patterns behind your support.
Dashboards that surface recurring issues, resolution times, session volume and workload across your team. It builds itself from your sessions, so you can fix systemic problems instead of firefighting tickets.
An expert in every session.
Ask CoPilot inside a live session. It draws on device context and your team's past resolved cases to suggest proven fixes, and cites where each answer comes from. Available as an add-on on Advanced.
Run on cost-effective or self-hosted AI models, so your session data can stay in your region.
A data-residency and price advantage the incumbents don't offer. AI Session Insights and Analytics are included from the Business plan; the CoPilot AI assistant is available as an add-on on Advanced.
Quieter pricing. Heavier features.
