Hanok gives you a personal cloud desktop: a full Linux environment hosted online that you access remotely from your browser or an optional Remote Desktop viewer. Your files, apps, and browsing stay on that hosted desktop, not on whatever laptop, chromebook, or shared PC you connect from.
Hanok is built for everyday separation: side projects off your main OS, personal email from a travel machine, banking from a library computer, or simply keeping a clean digital life that follows you between devices.

Why choose Hanok
A private Linux cloud desktop built for real-world remote work and personal privacy.
A true second desktop
Not a browser profile or folder on your local disk — a separate Linux desktop in the cloud for personal work that stays put between sessions.
Works from any machine
Log in from home, a café, a borrowed laptop, or a chromebook. Your remote workspace is the same every time.
Data stays off your device
If a local machine is lost, stolen, or wiped, your cloud desktop data remains on Hanok's hosted environment.
Not the same as a VPN
A VPN routes traffic but leaves files on your physical machine. A cloud desktop keeps apps and data on a separate hosted computer entirely.
EU-hosted privacy
Your private virtual desktop runs on European infrastructure with isolated environments per user.
Simple to start
No hardware to buy and no VM to configure. Sign up, open your browser, and use your cloud desktop immediately.
A second desktop for anywhere you log in
Hanok fits when you move between machines or want personal work kept off your primary computer — without tying it to one physical device.
The Budget Upgrader
“Make a cheap laptop feel like a proper computer.”
Can't afford a powerful computer? Turn a cheap netbook or chromebook into a fast, productive system by letting Hanok do the heavy lifting.
Common questions
Answers about private remote desktop for personal work with Hanok.
Is a cloud desktop the same as a VPN?
No. A VPN encrypts traffic but your files and apps still live on your physical laptop. Hanok keeps your personal data on a separate hosted cloud desktop entirely.
Is this different from using Hanok on a work laptop?
Yes. This page is about a general personal cloud desktop — travel, shared home PCs, side projects, or any device you use. If your main problem is a monitored employer laptop, see our dedicated work laptop page instead.
What happens if my local computer is stolen?
Your cloud desktop data remains on Hanok's hosted environment. Without your Hanok credentials, an attacker cannot access your personal workspace.
How private is a Hanok cloud desktop?
Each user gets an isolated virtual environment. Hanok does not access your session unless required for support or security, and connections are encrypted.
