What you have to know about the GoToMyPC Client App
The GoToMyPC Client App is a Windows desktop app that lists all the computers added to the user’s account, and lets them connect to their remote computer more seamlessly and faster.
What are the primary user benefits of the GoToMyPC Client App?
- The time to connect is lightning fast.
- The user experience is much smoother, as users need less interaction to achieve their goals.
- All computers assigned to your account are listed in the app, so you can connect to them immediately.
- You can get login support via text or SMS messages.

Is it safe to keep my sessions active?
The GoToMyPC Client App uses a PIN-based security feature that enhances protection during extended sessions. However, for your safety, we strongly recommend avoiding installation on public computers, such as those in libraries or cafés, to prevent potential security risks. Always remember to log out if you plan to leave your computer unattended for an extended period.
