Welcome to the world of Private Remote Desktops

Who is Hanok for?

Whether you're protecting your privacy or upgrading your hardware, Hanok fits your life.

The Corporate Employee

"Don’t let your job own all of you."

Your work laptop is monitored. Checking personal mail or messaging is an issue. With Hanok, your personal life stays personal, even on company hardware.

The founder developed Hanok for this exact reason!

The World Traveler

"Your nomadic life needs a stable home."

Dealing with different data laws? Keep your location stable (constant EU IP) for banking, medical access, and safe browsing wherever you land.

The Expat

"Stay at home, even when you’re abroad."

Working or studying in a country with less privacy than you'd like? Digitally, you’ll always be in Europe. Secure, private, and familiar.

The Budget Upgrader

"Turn €150 into €500."

Can't afford a powerful computer? Turn a cheap netbook or chromebook into a fast, productive system by letting Hanok do the heavy lifting.

The PC-free Roamer

"Hanok takes a load off your shoulders."

Access your full computer safely from any machine—even a public one. Log in and find everything exactly as you left it. 100% safe access. Pure freedom.

The Linux Tinkerer

"Hanok takes a load off your mind."

Want to learn Linux in a safe, closed-off environment? Tinker away on any machine with no install needed and zero risk to your local system.

Your Digital Sanctuary.

Work in different countries regularly without worrying about local data laws or changing IP addresses.
Handle sensitive data in a secure, isolated environment that never touches your physical hardware.
Keep 'all your other stuff' safe and separate from your work machine. No more accidental data leaks.
Enjoy a consistent desktop environment that stays exactly as you left it, no matter which device you use.

Always On, Completely Private

Why I Built Hanok

"Work and private life blur easily. I wanted to fix that."

As a software engineer, I was given a company laptop. Like any responsible company, it came with security software that could monitor almost everything: location, files, and apps.

We're behind our work computers almost all the time now. It’s easy to slip in something personal: check WhatsApp, reply to private email, or contact your doctor. But as soon as you connect your phone to your work laptop, your private files may become accessible. Not ideal.

I looked for a better way. I wanted something specific: no AI, no tracking, no hidden processes or ads. That ruled out Windows and macOS quickly. Niche enterprise solutions were too expensive or stored data in questionable locations.

So I built it myself. Hanok is a clean, private desktop that keeps your data secure. I named it after traditional Korean houses—combining simplicity with a sense of "home" in your digital life.
