# Chrome Remote Desktop

![RemoteDesktop](https://github.com/mikepruett3/chrome-remote-desktop/blob/main/images/RemoteDesktop.png?raw=true)

Chrome Remote Desktop is a simple Desktop application, built using [ElectronJS](https://www.electronjs.org). The project was created forthe simple fact that I have multiple Google accounts, and switching between the accounts to access Remote Desktop is a pain!

This app makes it easy. Now I can have my main Google account signed in to my normal browser, and a seperate Remote Desktop app signed in to the alternative Google account.

I am sure there are other uses, but this was my _selfish_ need...
