Control any computer from a browser tab. Even in the BIOS.
A small board that plugs into HDMI and USB. Open any browser to see the computer's screen and use its keyboard and mouse.
In development. One email when it's ready, nothing else.
Remote desktop needs a computer that already works.
Screen sharing apps run inside the operating system. When that's the part that's broken, they go dark with it, and someone has to walk over to the machine.
- Changing a BIOS setting
- Installing an operating system from scratch
- A blue screen, a kernel panic, a boot loop
- A frozen login or a broken network setting
OnlineKVM sits outside the operating system. The computer just sees a monitor and a keyboard, so there's nothing to install on it and nothing on it that can take the board down.

Demo computer. It runs inside this page.
This is what arrives in your browser: the computer's real screen, from the first frame after power on.
Go on, press DEL.
Your Delete key works too.
BIOS, boot menus, installers, the login screen. If a monitor would show it, you can work on it.
Out through HDMI. Back through USB.
The whole trip, from the computer's screen to your browser and from your keyboard back to the computer.
-
HDMI out
The computer's video goes into the board. To the computer, it's just another monitor.
-
Encoded
A hardware encoder on the board turns the screen into a light video stream.
-
Relay
The board dials out to our relay. No port forwarding, no VPN, no fixed address.
-
Browser
Open the page and the screen is there. Any modern browser, nothing to install.
-
Your keys
What you type and click goes back over the same connection.
-
USB in
The board types it into the computer as a real USB keyboard and mouse.
The computer never knows it's remote. There's no software on it to install, update or break.
What we're building
These are the targets for the first board. Some may change before it ships, and we'll say so when they do.
- Video in
- HDMI, up to 1080p
- Stream
- Hardware H.264, played straight in your browser
- Keyboard and mouse
- USB, with absolute mouse positioning so the pointer lands where you click
- Power
- From the same USB cable. A second port for outside power keeps it awake while the computer is off.
- Network
- Wi-Fi. The board connects out, so it works behind ordinary routers.
- Access
- Your account plus an optional PIN that the board checks itself
- Works with
- Anything with an HDMI output and a USB port that takes a normal keyboard: PCs, servers, mini PCs, single-board computers
Where it is now
Design stage. There's no price or date yet. People on the waitlist hear first, and that one email is the only one you'll get.
Does anything get installed on the computer?
No. It shows up as a monitor and a USB keyboard and mouse, the same as plugging those in by hand.
What if the computer is switched off?
The board shows everything from the moment the computer powers on. Turning a machine on remotely needs wake-on-LAN or a power-button connection, and we're looking at both for the first version.
How is this different from remote desktop software?
Remote desktop runs inside the operating system and stops when it does. OnlineKVM is hardware outside it, so it keeps working through restarts, crashes and reinstalls.
Get your hands on it first.
One email when OnlineKVM is available. We don't send anything else and we don't share your address.
