icon This app streams games, programs, or your full desktop from your PC or Sunshine on your local network or the Internet. Mouse, keyboard, and controller input is sent from your Android device to the PC.

Streaming performance may vary based on your client device and network setup. HDR requires an HDR10-capable device, a GPU that can encode HEVC Main 10, and an HDR10-enabled game.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
