What 1Remote is
1Remote is a free, open-source Windows application for organizing and launching remote sessions. It supports RDP, SSH, VNC, Telnet, FTP, SFTP, RemoteApp, NoMachine, and other applications. The launcher opens with the default Alt+M shortcut, allowing users to search saved connections and start them. A single connection can store multiple accounts and addresses, while RDP supports multi-screen and high-DPI displays. Custom runners can invoke external command-line tools such as WinSCP, FileZilla, KiTTY, TightVNC, and UltraVNC. The App protocol can launch executable programs with configured parameters. Server information can be synchronized through SQLite with file-sync tools or MySQL databases. Experimental team sharing uses MySQL permissions for read-only or full access. The maker says account and password data use basic string encryption and recommends disk encryption such as BitLocker. Preview, Stable EXE, and Microsoft Store builds each cost nothing. Windows 10 version 17763 or later is required.
