How it works

Four steps and the technician is on your screen

You follow everything in real time and can end the session whenever you want.

  1. 01

    Download the app

    Pick the installer for your system in the section above. The download comes straight from the ASSIST server.

  2. 02

    Open ASSIST Suporte

    No account, no configuration to type. The app connects to our server on its own.

  3. 03

    Share the ID and password

    The home screen shows a nine-digit ID and a session password. Pass both to the technician assisting you.

  4. 04

    Watch and close

    You see every action the technician takes on your screen. To end it, just close the app: access stops immediately.

Security

Access only when you authorize it

ASSIST Suporte is configured so control always stays with the person in front of the computer.

The app uses the open-source RustDesk technology, operated on ASSIST's own server. No session data goes through third-party services: the connection is end-to-end encrypted between your computer and the technician's.

Every launch generates a new session password. There is no default password baked into the installer, so having the program gives nobody access. Only someone who receives the ID and password from you at that moment can connect, and the session stays visible on your screen for as long as it lasts.

  • End-to-end encrypted connection with the ASSIST public key embedded in the app.
  • Session password renewed on every launch; no fixed password in the installer.
  • Visible on-screen indicator throughout the session and immediate shutdown when you close the app.
  • ASSIST's own connection server, no commercial intermediaries.
  • Open source, auditable, maintained by the RustDesk community and packaged by ASSIST.

Frequently asked

Before you start the session

Quick answers to the questions we hear most about remote access.

Do I need to install the program?+

On Windows, no: the executable opens directly and you can delete it after the session. If you prefer recurring access, the technician can install the service during the session, with your authorization. On macOS and Linux installation is required by the operating system.

Windows said it protected my PC. Is that normal?+

Yes. The SmartScreen warning appears for programs that do not yet have a download history with Microsoft. Click "More info" and then "Run anyway". The file is published by ASSIST and you can check the download address on this page.

macOS says the app cannot be opened. What now?+

Open System Settings, Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom and click "Open Anyway". Then grant Accessibility and Screen Recording to ASSIST Suporte on the same screen. Without those two permissions the technician can see the screen but cannot control it.

Can you access my computer without me knowing?+

No. Access depends on the ID and session password that only appear on your screen and change on every launch. While the app is closed, no connection is possible.

How do I end the session?+

Close the ASSIST Suporte window or click end on the session bar. The connection drops immediately and the technician loses access.

Does remote support have a cost?+

For customers with a managed support contract, remote assistance is already included in the plan. For one-off sessions, the price is agreed before the session starts.
