A free, open-source gateway that gives browser-based access to desktops through an HTML5 client, under Apache-2.0. You install and maintain the server yourself, so setup is more involved than hosted apps. The broadest platform list here, with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and a web app, plus a personal-use product and paid business licenses. Business use needs a paid license, and add-ons are sold separately.
