Dayon!

Dayon! is an easy to use, cross-platform remote desktop assistance solution.

It consists of two parts - one for the assistant and one for the assisted. Both are included in one single package.

Key features

• easy setup
• no router or network configuration needed on the assisted side
• friendly, trilingual user interface
• assistant and assisted functionality in same packet
• encrypted communication (TLS)
• cross-platform
• open source
• free (as hugs)

History

Dayon! was originally developed by Marc Polizzi back in 2008.

With his consent, I have taken over the maintenance and further development of this software in late 2016. I also moved the code base to GitHub, where it can easier be maintained.

Releases

The is v1.8.0 - released more than ten years after the initial release.

This version comes with a new connection protocol, allowing the clipboard to be shared between assisted and assistant.

It is most likely the very last version which is bundled with a Java 8 based JRE.

Contributors

Any feedback and contributions are very welcome.

You don't have to be a programmer!

For example translations for additional languages would make this app more useful for more earthlings - see: src/main/java/mpo/dayon/common/babylon/Babylon.properties or docs

Some additional testing, especially on macOS would also be highly appreciated.
