About:
Cord is a remote desktop client for macOS designed to connect to Windows terminal servers using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). It provides a native macOS interface for managing and accessing Windows applications and desktops. The tool is optimized for Intel-based Macs and focuses on providing a seamless integration experience for users needing to interact with Windows environments.

Key Features:

Support for multiple simultaneous sessions
Session management and bookmarking
Optimized for Intel architecture

Use Cases:

Accessing Windows applications from a Mac without dual-booting
Managing multiple remote Windows servers or desktops simultaneously

Alternatives:

Royal TSX – Commercial multi-protocol manager with more features, but Cord is free and RDP-focused.
