RigDesk is a 9.8 MB Android app that presents windows, a taskbar and an app drawer, while attempting to run Windows programs on an arm64 phone.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-03 issue.

Field notes

The page describes RigDesk as a bundled Android desktop environment rather than a conventional launcher. Its stated components include a window manager, an X11 server, a browser, an x86 translator and a Wine layer; Mono is downloaded only when a user requests .NET support. The public download is a 9.8 MB arm64 APK for Android 11+, and the site provides SHA-256 and signing-certificate commands for checking the sideloaded file.
