jetkvm-desktop

A native desktop client for JetKVM with local discovery, direct connect, remote control, and core settings in one window.

What It Does

• Finds JetKVM devices on your local network
• Connects directly by hostname, mDNS name, or IP
• Shows the remote video feed in a native desktop window
• Sends keyboard and mouse input to the target machine
• Supports mouse back/forward side buttons in the native client, unlike the browser UI
• Prompts for a password when the device requires it
• Exposes the main settings and connection stats without opening the browser UI

Getting Started

Open the launcher:

jetkvm-desktop

Connect straight to a known device:

jetkvm-desktop jetkvm.local
jetkvm-desktop 192.168.1.50
jetkvm-desktop http://192.168.1.50

If the device requires a password, the app will ask for it.

The experimental USB-network settings UI is disabled by default because current KVM targets do not support it yet. To expose it at runtime, set JETKVM_DESKTOP_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_USB_NETWORK=1.

Inside the App

Once connected, the app keeps video, input, stats, and the core device settings in the same window, so the common JetKVM workflow stays fast and desktop-native.
