About Sunshine
Sunshine turns a computer into a streaming host for Moonlight clients on other computers, phones, tablets and TVs. It captures the screen and audio, encodes video with available hardware, receives controller, keyboard and mouse input, and is configured from a local web interface.
Most users run it on a gaming PC, but the project publishes macOS disk images for Apple silicon and Intel and lists macOS 14.2 or later. Streaming quality depends heavily on the network and the host's encoder.
