Control your computer from anywhere, in plain words.
A remote-control app gives you a screen to drive. Venta gives you an assistant on the other computer: you say what needs doing, it does it there, and it shows you the screen when you want to look.
See the screen
Ask for the screen of a computer you linked and Venta shows you a fresh picture of it, with its age counted on the picture so a still frame never passes for live. It is a picture, not a video: right for checking what a task did, not for driving the desktop.
Do the work without driving it
Instead of steering a mouse over a slow connection, you describe the outcome: “Restart the export on my office PC and tell me when it finishes.” Venta runs the commands you approve there, reads the files you ask about, and reports back.
Venta runs in your browser. To work on a computer, you link it once: a desktop app on Windows, or a one-file agent on macOS and Linux. After that Venta can read files there and run commands — only the ones you ask about, and only while the app is running.
Set it up
- Sign in to Venta in any browser.
- On the computer you want to reach, install Venta for Windows, or run the one-file agent on macOS or Linux.
- It appears under Your devices. From then on, ask for it by name.
Compared with a traditional remote desktop
- Live video of the screen: a remote desktop, yes; Venta, a fresh picture on request.
- Describe a task and have it done: a remote desktop, no; Venta, yes.
- Works from a phone: both; Venta needs no app on the phone.
- Keeps working after you put the phone away: Venta, yes — a task waits for the computer and runs when it can.
What it does not do
- It does not move your mouse or type on your keyboard.
- It cannot reach a computer that is off, asleep, or not running the app.
- It does not show a live video stream of the screen.
What it costs
Free to try with 10 messages a month and no card. Paid plans start at $9 a month and include an AI allowance; connecting your own provider account does not use it.
Questions people ask first
- Can I control my computer from my phone?
- Yes. Venta runs in the phone's browser and installs to the home screen; the computer needs the desktop app or agent running. You describe the task, and can ask to see the screen.
- Is the screen live?
- No. Venta shows a fresh picture of the screen when you ask, with its age shown on it. That is enough to check on a task; it is not a remote desktop you drive.
- What if the computer is off?
- The task waits. Venta reaches a computer only while its app is running, and picks the task up when the computer is back.
- Does work continue when I close the tab?
- A task keeps its place when you close the tab. Venta's worker picks it up on its next run — today that can be up to a day — and a task that needs your own computer waits for that computer to be online.
