get started in a minute

Three steps and you're in

No accounts to create, no configuration to learn.

step 1

Install Roovia

Download and run it on both computers. It starts hosting automatically — and stays reachable even at the login screen.

step 2

Share your address

Each PC gets a unique Roovia ID and password — share them with whoever needs in.

step 3

Connect & control

Enter the ID, and you're on their screen — securely, from anywhere in the world.

why roovia

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Secure by default, simple to use, and powerful when you need it.

End-to-end encrypted

Every session is encrypted with the Noise protocol. The relay only ever sees ciphertext — never your screen.

Works through any firewall

Connect by a short ID over the internet with no port forwarding, or by IP on your LAN. NAT just works.

Organizations & groups

Invite devices with a join code, sort them into groups (Admin PCs, Servers…), and reach any member with one admin password.

Automatic updates

Install once. Every new version is delivered and applied automatically, signed and tamper-proof.

File transfer & clipboard

Drag files straight onto the remote screen and share your clipboard both ways, instantly.

Multi-monitor & control

Switch monitors, send Ctrl+Alt+Del, use the on-screen keyboard, and control with zero-lag input — app or browser.

Pre-login & login-screen access

Reach a PC at the Windows login, lock and UAC screens — before anyone signs in. Sign in remotely, approve a prompt, or rescue a stuck machine as if you were sitting there.

Ask to connect

By default the remote PC shows an Accept / Decline prompt, so no one gets in without a nod. Or set an unattended password for hands-free access to your own machines.

Remote reboot & reconnect

Restart a remote PC and Roovia reconnects automatically once it's back — landing at the login screen if you need it, so a reboot is never a dead end.

no install needed

Control your PCs from the browser

Sign in to your organization at portal.roovia.co.za, see every device, and take control of any one of them right inside a browser tab — with the same end-to-end encryption. Works from a laptop, tablet, or phone.

Download for Windows

After installing, Roovia keeps itself up to date automatically.

Control your PCs from your phone

Get the Android app, or open the Roovia Portal and tap Install — either way you sign in and control any PC by touch, with a full keyboard. No app store needed.

Download Android app Or install from the portal

Quick-connect from your toolbar

Pin Roovia to Chrome, Edge or Brave and jump straight into any PC — type or pick a Roovia ID from the toolbar and it opens right in the portal. No tabs to hunt for.

Questions & answers

The short version — and you can always ask us anything.

Is Roovia really free?
Yes — free forever for personal and team use. Download, install, connect. No trial, no card, no per-seat fees.
How secure is it?
Every session is end-to-end encrypted with the Noise protocol. The relay that connects you only ever passes along ciphertext — it never sees your screen, keystrokes, or files.
Do I need to open ports or configure my router?
No. Connect by a short Roovia ID over the internet — it works straight through firewalls and NAT with no port forwarding — or by IP on your local network.
Can I connect when no one's at the PC?
Yes. Roovia stays reachable at the Windows login and lock screens, so you can sign in and use a PC remotely before anyone's even there — set an unattended password (or use your organization's admin password) for hands-free access. When someone is at the PC, they get a quick Accept prompt by default.
Can I use it without installing anything?
Yes — sign in at portal.roovia.co.za and control your PCs from any browser. Add the toolbar extension for one-click access, or the Android app / PWA on your phone.
How do updates work?
Install once. Every new version is delivered and applied automatically — cryptographically signed and tamper-proof, so the PCs you manage stay current on their own.
