ollalink
ollalink is a remote access and device fleet control platform designed for teams that operate their own machines. It combines a browser-based remote desktop experience with centralized fleet visibility, allowing users to see online status, connect to a Windows or macOS device, and manage access from a single console. The product emphasizes self-hosting: the signaling server and relay infrastructure can run on the team's own infrastructure, so session traffic can stay off a third-party cloud. The platform includes workspace-scoped role-based access control, audit logging, and usage metering for session minutes and active devices. It also exposes a developer API with workspace-scoped keys, JSON responses, and webhooks for fleet listing, connection brokering, secret rotation, and usage data. A built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets AI agents view and control remote machines through the same authenticated path. ollalink is positioned as AI-native and anti-vendor-lock-in. An operator only needs a browser to connect, while a small host agent is installed on managed machines. The control plane dashboard is provided by ollalink, while self-hosted signaling and relays can be deployed by the team. The service is free to start, requires no credit card, and documentation plus API reference are publicly available.

Problem solved
ollalink solves the problem of securely reaching and managing a fleet of geographically distributed or remote machines from one place. It removes the need for VPNs and per-device remote desktop configuration by giving teams a browser-based control plane, fleet inventory, role-based access, and a self-hostable data path that keeps sessions under the organization's control.
Use cases
- Remotely troubleshoot and control a Windows machine from a browser
- Access macOS devices across distributed teams without installing client software for operators
- Group devices into workspaces and enforce role-based access for IT teams
- Self-host signaling and relay servers to keep remote session traffic on internal infrastructure
- Meter session minutes and active devices for internal chargeback or capacity planning
- Let AI agents inspect and operate remote machines through an MCP server
- Automate device fleet queries and connection brokering with the JSON API
- Provide secure remote support to employee machines without exposing vendor cloud relay
Audience
- Developers
- Enterprise
- Startups
Pros
- Connect to devices directly from a browser with no operator-side client install
- Self-hosted signaling and relay keeps remote session traffic out of the vendor cloud
- Central fleet dashboard for device status, grouping, and one-click connect
- Workspace-scoped roles, audit, and usage metering for teams
- Built-in MCP server enables AI agents to operate remote machines
Cons
- Host agents only support Windows and macOS, with no Linux mentioned
- Self-hosted relays require additional infrastructure and ongoing maintenance
- The main dashboard and identity control plane are hosted rather than fully on-premises
- MCP and API features require technical setup, so business users may need support
