The lean Royal TS alternative for working locally

Less is faster

No documents, no licence keys, no server component: install, set a master password, import connections – done.

The same foundations

Folders with inherited credentials, reusable credentials, tabs, full screen, detaching, external tools and Wake-on-LAN – the tools of the admin trade are there.

What Royal TS does better

Team sharing, cross-platform use on macOS, numerous integrations and a central server component. If you need those, Royal TS is the better fit.

Who NEO RDP Manager suits

Admins who look after their servers alone on Windows, value a local vault and come from mRemoteNG or RDCMan.

Frequently asked questions

Is NEO RDP Manager a full replacement for Royal TS?

For working alone on Windows with RDP, SSH, VNC, Telnet and PowerShell: yes. Team features, macOS and Royal TS's many integrations are deliberately not part of it.

Can I take over connections from Royal TS?

There is no direct import of Royal TS documents. The detour goes through a format both understand – such as .rdp files or a file in mRemoteNG format.
