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.
As quick launch versions for Windows, they are also available as individual binaries and as snap for various linux distributions.

## Key features

- easy setup
- no router or network configuration needed on the assisted side
- intuitive, multilingual user interface (de, en, es, fr, it, ru)
- assistant and assisted functionality in same packet
- secure, 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 ![latest version](https://github.com/RetGal/Dayon/releases) is v1.10 (Lucky Lobster) - 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.

Also available as snap:

## 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/resources/Babylon.properties](https://github.com/RetGal/Dayon/blob/master/src/main/resources/Babylon.properties) or [docs](https://github.com/RetGal/Dayon/tree/master/docs)

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