The company was founded in 2006 under the name DeviceVM Inc. Its first product, named Splashtop OS, was an ‘instant-onLinux-based computing platform. The company partners with OEMs and manufacturers to integrate this technology into personal computers.[2] The company changed its name to Splashtop in 2010.[3]

The original Splashtop Remote product was split into multiple products with the release of Splashtop Business[4] in 2013. The original consumer-focused product was renamed Splashtop Personal. Splashtop Remote Support was announced in 2015 as Splashtop Business for Remote Support[5] and later renamed Splashtop Remote Support. Splashtop On-Demand Support was introduced in 2015.[6][7]
