Sometimes you don't want to share the full desktop. You want to share only one app, safely. App Capsules are built for this exact use case.
What is an App Capsule?
An App Capsule streams a single application from a controlled machine. The user sees only the app, not the full desktop, and policies can restrict file access and clipboard.
- Share only the app window (example: Tally, a design app, a training tool)
- Restrict file browsing and risky actions based on policy
- Log usage for operational accountability
Where this is useful
- Training: give access to a tool without exposing everything
- Accounting service: provide Tally access without installing it on client device
- Schools: allow one lab app during lab hours only
Safer by design
- Start in view-only if required
- Use approvals before enabling full control
- Restrict clipboard and file movement by policy
- Export usage logs when needed
FAQ
Is App Capsule better than full remote desktop?
Yes when you want minimal exposure: only one app, not the full machine.
Do users need installs?
Depends on your implementation. Many flows can run via a lightweight client or browser-based viewer.
Can we control copying/export?
Yes. Use policy guardrails for clipboard/file restrictions.
Who uses App Capsules most?
Training teams, accounting services, schools, and support teams who want safer access.
