X11/Xorg? With xdm you can login to the server that runs the apps and
have all windows drawn locally.

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-xdm.html

You can also ssh to the server with ForwardX11 enabled to run a single
app and have it's windows drawn locally.

That's assuming FreeBSD/Linux at both ends.
