Product direction

Free, open-source remote workstation software.

Arcen Pier and Deck are available as free software under AGPL-3.0. I develop the project independently as a side project; there are no other maintainers or staffed support today.

Available today

Direct Deck to Pier.

macOS Deck connects to one known Linux, Windows, or macOS (preview) Pier over a LAN or customer VPN. Sessions run on infrastructure you operate, without an Arcen-operated runtime service.

Client

macOS Deck.

The operator application for viewing and controlling the workstation.

Host

Linux, Windows, or macOS Pier.

The workstation runs the applications, GPU workload, accounts, and project storage. One installer per platform; the macOS Pier is a preview.

Route

Direct over your network.

The operator supplies LAN or VPN reachability. The current product has no gateway or discovery service.

Software

Free and open source.

Pier and Deck are published under the AGPL-3.0 license, with signed releases on GitHub. Current release: v0.19.0.

Under consideration

Span and enterprise plans are undecided.

Span is not part of the current Direct product. Whether it will be offered, and what an enterprise offering might include, has not been decided.

Span

No product or delivery commitment.

Potential Span capabilities, availability, and how it would relate to Pier and Deck remain open questions.

Enterprise

No support plan or price has been set.

The current free project has no support offering. Whether a future enterprise option would include support, and its scope and price, remains undecided.

Roadmap boundary

The current open-source product is Direct Deck to Pier. Span and any enterprise or support offering are possibilities only; capabilities, availability, support terms, and pricing are not defined.
