Features
What it does, and what it doesn’t yet.
Everything that works in today’s us2us Remote, and what is still missing. The list is short; we don’t hide the gaps.
Connecting
ID and one-time code
Every computer has a 9-digit ID that stays the same. The code is 8 characters from an alphabet without look-alikes, and it changes after every session.
The sharer’s approval
For connections made with the code, the person sharing sees “Biri bağlanmak istiyor” (someone wants to connect) and allows or declines. This prompt can be turned off in Settings; it is on by default.
Recent computers and favorites
Every computer you connected to is listed with its ID, name, operating system and time. Star it, name it, or remove it. The list keeps at most 50 entries and never holds codes or passwords.
Remember password
For a computer you reach with its permanent password, you can keep the password in the OS keychain; it becomes a favorite and connects in one click. Unstarring it deletes the password.
Reaching your own computer
Permanent password
On the computer you share, set a password of 8 to 128 characters under Ayarlar (Settings) → “Parolayla erişim” (password access). Sessions opened with it start without asking.
Never stored as typed
The computer keeps only a random salt and a key derived with Argon2id, in the keychain. After 10 wrong passwords in an hour, password access stops until you turn it back on; the code keeps working.
The limit to know
The permanent password works while us2us Remote is open and sharing has been started. The system service needed to reach the login screen after a restart doesn’t exist yet.
During a session
View only
Tick “Yalnızca izlensin” (view only) before you start sharing, and the other side sees your screen but cannot use the mouse or keyboard.
Ask for permissions
The viewer can ask for keyboard and mouse control from inside the session. The person sharing chooses “İzin ver” (allow) or “Reddet” (decline); no answer within 60 seconds counts as declined.
No administrator rights yet
UAC prompts and protected screens need a system service. The app lists this permission but declines it on every platform today.
Full screen
Use the remote screen in a window or full screen. A computer serves one session at a time.
Account and “Bilgisayarlarım”
Optional sign-in
us2us Remote works without an account. If you like, sign in with your us2usmail.com account or create one in the app; a new account reserves <name>@us2usmail.com.
Bilgisayarlarım (my computers)
Computers sharing under the same account are listed with their online state; click one to fill in its ID. The name shown is set under Ayarlar → “Bu bilgisayarın adı” (this computer’s name). Up to 32 computers per account.
An account opens nothing
Being on the same account skips no step: you still need the code (and the sharer’s approval) or the permanent password.
Platforms
macOS
macOS 12.3 or later, Apple Silicon and Intel. Sharing your screen needs the Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions; the app shows how to grant them the first time.
Windows
Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit. There is no system service yet for UAC prompts or the Windows sign-in screen.
Linux
64-bit, AppImage and .deb. Works as is on X11. On Wayland you approve screen sharing in your desktop’s own dialog; quality depends on the desktop.
Not there yet
These are planned; they’ll show up here when they’re ready.
Hardware-accelerated video
Today the screen is sent as changed 64×64-pixel tiles, compressed with LZ4. Fast motion at high resolution may not be smooth; H.264/VP9 is planned.
Clipboard and file transfer
Copy and paste and sending files are not available yet.
System service
The login screen, access after a restart, UAC and administrator rights are waiting on it.
Automatic updates
Download and install new versions from this site.
Multiple monitors and audio
One monitor is shown at a time; sound is not transmitted.
Direct connections
Every session goes, encrypted, through remote.us2us.app. Direct connections where possible are planned.
Trusted devices
Recognising a device after the first session and connecting without a code is planned; today every session needs the code or password.
Mobile
iOS and Android apps are out of scope for now.
English interface
The app’s interface is in Turkish for now; this page quotes its labels in Turkish with a translation.
