Features

• Screenshot-style dark dashboard with machine list, details panel, admin modal, and audit log.
• SQLite persistence under %LOCALAPPDATA%\WindowsRemoteDesktopDashboard\data by default on Windows.
• One active reservation per machine.
• Auto-release of expired reservations on refresh.
• Direct local mstsc.exe launch plus downloadable .rdp fallback.
• Optional remote session refresh with quser /server:<host> when Windows permissions allow it.
• Admin PIN gate for adding machines.
• Admin machine management with delete and session refresh controls.

The default admin PIN is admin if ADMIN_PIN is not set.

Set RDD_DATA_DIR to choose where the SQLite database is stored. Set RDD_HOST=0.0.0.0 if one shared dashboard machine should serve multiple laptops on the network. The Open RDP button launches C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe on the Windows computer running this app.
