hypr-rdp is a native Remote Desktop Protocol server for Hyprland that lets users connect to a running Hyprland desktop from standard RDP clients such as Windows Remote Desktop and FreeRDP.
hypr-rdp is built on top of IronRDP for the RDP protocol/server layer, but it adds its own Hyprland/Wayland integration, capture, input, audio, clipboard, and runtime glue.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports connections from standard RDP clients such as Windows Remote Desktop and FreeRDP.
- Uses hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding through VA-API with an OpenH264 software fallback.
- Supports screen capture with the `wlr-screencopy-v1` and `ext-image-copy-capture-v1` protocols.
- Forwards audio through PipeWire using RDPSND.
- Offers bidirectional text and image clipboard synchronization.
- Supports full keyboard and mouse input through virtual keyboard and pointer protocols.
- Can auto-generate self-signed TLS certificates or use user-supplied certificates.
- Supports configuration through `~/.config/hypr-rdp/config.toml` and command line arguments.
