Every server,
one pane of glass.
RDPane is the fast, private Remote Desktop manager for people who live in RDP. Tabbed sessions, colour-coded groups, and encrypted credentials — all local, no cloud, no subscription.
A remote desktop manager that keeps up with you.
Not a fork of an ancient tool, not a browser wrapper. A native Windows app designed around how sysadmins actually work — dozens of machines, all day, every day.
Every session in one window.
Open as many machines as you need, each in its own live tab. Switch instantly — sessions stay connected in the background, never dropped when you look away.
- Keep-alive tabs — background sessions never disconnect
- Full-screen any session, snap back with a keystroke
- Auto-resize to match your display, crisply
Structure that matches your head.
Colour-coded groups, freeform tags, favourites, and recents. Find any machine in a keystroke — then connect before you've finished typing its name.
- Groups, tags & favourites with inherited credentials
- Ctrl-K quick-connect palette from anywhere
- Import straight from RDCMan, .rdp and .rdg files
Fast where it counts.
Instant reconnect, smooth resize re-flow, and a motion system you can turn all the way off. Every interaction is tuned to feel immediate — because you do this a thousand times a day.
- One-click reconnect & clean disconnect handling
- Wake-on-LAN & live host-reachability dots
- Full reduce-motion & accessibility support
Trust you can verify, not just claims.
RDPane is built for people who audit their tools. Nothing phones home, nothing sits in someone else's cloud, and your passwords never touch a plaintext file.
Windows Credential Manager
Passwords are sealed in the OS vault with DPAPI, keyed per-user. They are never written to your data file — copy it off the machine and there are no secrets inside.
App-lock & encryption
Lock the whole app behind a master password with auto-lock and disconnect-on-lock. Encrypted backups let you move your setup without exposing a thing.
Zero telemetry
No analytics, no trackers, no account, no background calls. RDPane works fully offline and behind air-gapped firewalls — including its license check.
Local-first data
Your connections live in a single file on your PC that you own and control. Back it up, sync it your way, or lock it down. It's yours.
Gateway verification
RD Gateway support with certificate checks, and clear, honest warnings for self-signed or mismatched server certs — you decide, informed.
Offline license
Your license is a signed key validated on-device — no activation servers to call, nothing to break behind a corporate proxy. Buy once, own it.
Built in seven languages.
Every screen, menu, and message is fully translated — switch instantly from Settings, no restart. Accessibility and reduce-motion support are first-class, too.
Everything RDCMan should have become.
The old tools stopped evolving. RDPane picks up where they left off — modern, secure, and actively built.

Good questions, straight answers.
No. RDPane is a one-time $19.99 purchase and it's yours to keep, including all v1 updates. No recurring charge, ever.
Entirely on your PC, in a single file you control. Passwords are stored separately in the Windows Credential Manager (DPAPI-encrypted, per-user) and never written into that file. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Never. There is no telemetry, no analytics, and no account. RDPane runs fully offline — even the licence check is done on-device against a signed key, so it works behind strict corporate firewalls and on air-gapped networks.
Windows 10 (1809+) and Windows 11, 64-bit. RDPane hosts the official Microsoft Remote Desktop engine, so it speaks standard RDP to any host you can already reach.
Immediately after checkout, Paddle emails you a licence key. Paste it into RDPane under the trial pill or Settings, click Activate, and you're done — no sign-in required.
Yes. Your key isn't locked to one machine — activate RDPane on the computers you personally use. Export an encrypted backup to bring all your connections along.
Absolutely. RDPane imports directly from RDCMan (.rdg), individual .rdp files, so switching over takes minutes, not an afternoon.
Because there's a full 14-day free trial, you can be sure before you buy. If something's still not right, contact us — Paddle, our reseller, handles refunds per their buyer terms.
