About bVNC

bVNC is a VNC client for Android, built from the remote-desktop-clients repository. The same codebase produces sibling apps: aRDP for Microsoft RDP, aSPICE for SPICE, and Opaque for oVirt, RHEV and Proxmox virtual machines.

The repository contains separate app builds, including free variants of bVNC, aRDP and aSPICE. It suits people who need to reach desktops, servers or virtual machines from a phone or tablet using standard protocols rather than a vendor service.

Strengths

  • Covers VNC, RDP, SPICE and oVirt/Proxmox from one codebase
  • Works with standard protocols, no vendor account
  • Long-running project with many commits

Limitations

  • Each protocol is a separate app
  • Mobile screen size limits comfortable desktop use
