macrdp

A native RDP server for macOS, written in Rust on top of [IronRDP]. Connect from mstsc, the Windows App / Microsoft Remote Desktop, or FreeRDP and drive your Mac — authenticated against your local Mac account (NLA/CredSSP, TLS). What you get:

• Desktop: H.264 video (hardware-encoded, opt-in, with optional adaptive bitrate) or legacy bitmaps; keyboard (non-US layouts auto-detected) and mouse with the real cursor shape; the session follows your client’s resolution.
• Clipboard & files: text, images and rich text both ways; copy files and folders between Mac and Windows.
• Audio: Mac audio to the client; the client’s microphone as a real Mac input device (experimental).
• Devices from the client: drives mounted in Finder (read-write), smart cards for macOS apps, the webcam as a real Mac camera, and USB devices (experimental).
• Headless: serve a virtual display so the Mac needs no monitor, with the physical screen blanked while you’re connected.

This is the macOS equivalent of xrdp. Not a client, not a VNC bridge.
