Moonlight macOS is a native macOS client for NVIDIA's GameStream. It allows you to stream games from your desktop computer to your Mac.

• Apple Silicon support
• Up to 4K streaming at 144fps
• Native AppKit app
• Hardware decoding
• HEVC and H.264
• HDR
• Keyboard and mouse support
• Custom HID driver to support popular controllers on older macOS versions that offer limited or no native gamepad (MFi) support.
• Local network host PC detection
• Adding hosts manually
• Wake-on-LAN support
• Dark Mode
• Support for older macOS versions, back to 10.14 (Mojave)

• To release the mouse cursor from the stream, press both Control and Option at the same time.
• To quit an app and disconnect from stream in one keystroke press Control-Shift-W.
• To just disconnect from the stream (leaving the app running) press Control-Option-W.
• To quit apps from the apps grid, right-click on the running app and choose Quit.
• You can increase/decrease the app grid size with Command + and Command -.

• At the moment, the HID driver doesn’t support multiple gamepads at once.
• Only Bluetooth Xbox controllers are supported.
• Xbox controllers don’t support wired mode.
• DualSense (PS5) rumble is different intensity in wired vs wireless modes.
• Switch Pro controllers are only supported in wireless mode.
• There is a bug with some PlayStation controllers where in first-person-shooter games the camera overshoots at times. This doesn’t happen to all my PlayStation controllers. I currently don’t know how to fix this. If this happens to you, change Controller Driver to MFi in Moonlight's Preferences.
• Controller rumble sometimes stops working. Rebooting your PC fixes this. This seems to be an NVIDIA issue.
• Side mouse buttons don't work.
• I haven’t added support for higher refresh-rates than 60Hz, yet. However, I don’t think it will be that hard.

1. Run the following line in your Terminal:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/MichaelMKenny/moonlight-macos.git

2. Open Moonlight.xcodeproj in Xcode.
3. Open the Project file (the first item in the sidebar, labelled “Moonlight”).
4. Go to the Signing & Capabilities tab.
5. Change the Team to your own team (probably your name).
6. Change the Bundle Identifier from com.coofdylabs.MoonlightMac to start with your own name or domain.
7. Select the Moonlight target in Xcode’s toolbar, then “My Mac” and press Command-R, to build and run.

• This project is a fork of the main moonlight-ios project, by the Moonlight Stream team, made to work on macOS and use a Native AppKit UI. This is not a Mac Catalyst app.
• In addition, this project also uses the following Open-Source projects:
  • MASPreferences to help handle preference-panes in preferences.
  • Functional to add Objective-C helpers, to make my life easier.
