TeamViewer alternative Edgely Console
A TeamViewer alternative for machines you administer
TeamViewer earns its place when you have to reach a machine you do not control, through firewalls, with somebody at the other end. For servers and workstations you administer, Edgely Console connects directly over RDP, VNC and SSH, keeps the credentials in an encrypted vault, and costs nothing for personal use.

TeamViewer crosses networks, survives a user with no technical knowledge at the far end, and carries the session recording, attended support and device management an IT department buys it for. Edgely Console is a connection manager, not a support platform.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Will Edgely flag my personal use as commercial?
No. Edgely Console is free for personal use with every feature unlocked and no session interruption. A licence is required when a company uses it for work, and that is handled by buying one, not by cutting a session short.
Is Edgely really free for personal use?
Yes. Edgely Console and Edgely Database Manager are free and complete for personal use: every feature unlocked, no time limit, no nag screens, no account needed. A paid licence is required when a company uses them for work.
Does Edgely run on macOS, Windows and Linux?
Yes, natively on all three. The Rust core compiles to native binaries and the Flutter UI is hardware-accelerated, so the same build runs on macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Windows 10 and 11, and Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora or Arch. A mobile companion ships on Android and iOS.
Can I import my existing servers?
Edgely Console imports MobaXterm session exports (.mxtsessions), Remote Desktop Manager files (.rdm, .xml or .json) and Edgely's own .econ, .evlt, .efull and .eset exports. Other tools are typed in once for now. A MobaXterm or Remote Desktop Manager file brings the hosts, ports, users and folders, never the passwords those tools encrypt; Remote Desktop Manager's user names can also go into the vault, and an encrypted Edgely export or a password manager's CSV fills the vault directly. Whichever route you take, the credential lands in the encrypted vault on the device and is never uploaded.
Direct access to the machines that are yours
Edgely Console connects over the protocols your servers already speak, with the credentials held in an encrypted vault on your device.
