what it is

  • Moonmeow shows your computer's screen on your phone and sends your touches, typing and mouse back, so you can write code, read logs or drive a terminal away from your desk.
  • It is tuned for desktop and office work rather than games: text input, pointer precision, keyboard shortcuts that get past Android, and resolutions that match a phone screen.
  • It works with sunmeow, and also with Sunshine and Apollo hosts.
  • There are no prebuilt releases yet: it is built from source.

how it works

  • It is a fork of Artemis, which is itself a fork of Moonlight, so it speaks the Moonlight streaming protocol.
  • The host encodes the desktop as video; moonmeow decodes it on the phone and sends input events back.
  • It runs on Android 8.0 or newer and is licensed under the GPL-3.0.
