Punktfunk

Punktfunk is the next generation of local game streaming. Stream from your Linux PC, headless server or laptop to your Apple devices — with low latency and built-in support for virtual displays. That means the resolution matches exactly the device you are streaming to. Windows hosts are supported as well. Both our client apps and the server/host are open source. Punktfunk sets itself apart from existing solutions through lower latency, which we achieve with our own QUIC-based protocol.

More features:

• Comprehensive DualSense controller support (adaptive triggers, LEDs and rumble)
• Xbox controller support
• Microphone passthrough: optionally forward the microphone from your client to the host
• Heavily optimised client with Metal-based rendering
• 1 Gbps+ ready: a lot of work went into supporting high bitrates, so high resolutions and refresh rates are possible. Requires a good network/Wi-Fi
• (Experimental) Browse the host's game library on the client and launch games directly
• Windows hosts: 10-bit colour and HDR support
• Statistics: glass-to-glass latency measurement
• Mouse and keyboard support

Needs Punktfunk 0.44 on your host. Update the host first.

• Host profiles: when a host has several, the app asks who's playing and remembers your pick. "Switch profile…" in the host's menu changes it.
• On a lossy network, missing packets are sent again instead of freezing the picture.
• A 120 fps stream shows every frame on iPad Pro again, HDR reaches the screen sooner, and Game Mode turns on reliably.
• "Steam Controller 2 passthrough" now also covers the 2015 Steam Controller, and Steam on the host recognizes each one and keeps its layouts.
• "Controller type" in Quick Actions switches the controller the host sees mid-stream.
• On a foldable iPhone set half open, the picture takes the upright half and the controls the flat one.
• The console fills the iPad screen and works with a keyboard and trackpad.
• "Keep screen awake" can be turned off, so the screen can sleep once you stop playing.

Fixed: with auto-wake off, the library leaves a sleeping host asleep and offers "Wake Host". On an iPad keyboard, the app's shortcuts no longer type into the host, and a captured mouse can click Quick Actions.
