Dayon! is an easy to use, cross-platform remote desktop assistance solution.
It consists of two parts – one for the assistant and one for the assisted. Both are included in one single package. As quick launch versions for Windows, there are also available as individual binaries and as a snap for various Linux distributions.
This is free and open source software.
Features include:
- Easy setup (no router or network configuration needed on the assisted side).
- Assistant and assisted functionality in one package
- Secure, encrypted communication (TLS).
- Very low bandwidth usage. Dayon! sends compressed and cached gray (up to 256 levels) pictures to minimize the network usage offering as much as possible a real-time experience over the Internet. Those pictures are sufficient for monitoring and explaining the different menus, icons and discovering the computer setup, etc…
- Cross-platform support.
- Intuitive, multilingual user interface: Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish.
