Who is behind Hanok?

Rik van der Kemp

Hi, I’m Rik van der Kemp,software engineer for nearly 20 years.
I started Hanok as a personal project, born from my own need for privacy while working in secure, policy-heavy workplaces.
It worked so well, I decided it was time to share it with others too.

Why a remote desktop?

Is everything you do on your computer still truly private? maybe it used to be. But with the rise of AI and cloud services, that’s now questionable.

Modern operating systems increasingly send data back to the manufacturer, so-called telemetry, or more plainly: they phone home.

Fortunately, Europe is paying close attention. New regulations are being put in place that make it harder for companies to collect your data without limits. But big tech keeps finding clever ways around them.

For companies, this means taking responsibility: sensitive information doesn’t belong on an unsecured laptop running american cloud software.

And for you as a user, it’s simple: work is work, and private is private. You use your company laptop for work. And your own desktop, with your personal software, documents, and preferences, runs safely and remotely with hanok.

That’s why hanok exists.

Hanok is a personal, secure remote desktop, no big tech, no tracking, no surprises.

  • 💻 works just like you’re used to: a full linux desktop, accessible via rdp
