1Remote
What it 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. Its launcher opens with Alt+M by default, allowing users to search saved connections and start them. A connection can hold multiple accounts and addresses, while RDP supports multi-screen and high-DPI displays. Custom runners can open sessions through command-line tools such as WinSCP, FileZilla, KiTTY, TightVNC, and UltraVNC. The App protocol can start external executables with configured parameters. Server information can synchronize through SQLite with file-sync tools or through MySQL databases. Experimental team sharing uses MySQL permissions for read-only or full access. The database has basic string encryption for account and password data, and the maker recommends disk encryption such as BitLocker. Preview, Stable EXE, and Microsoft Store builds are each free. Windows 10 version 17763 or later is required.
For and against
For
- Supports many remote-access protocols
- Launcher searches and starts saved connections
- Stores multiple accounts and addresses

- Basic string encryption protects credentials
The verdict
1Remote combines a broad protocol list with searchable launching, stored connection details, external-tool runners, and synchronization options. Its Windows requirement, basic credential encryption, and concurrent-edit risk deserve attention before shared deployment.
Who it suits
It suits Windows users who manage connections across several remote-access protocols. Teams considering shared connection data should note its experimental sharing and database editing limits.
