About 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
What’s new
Version 0.45.0 · Updated October 25, 2026
Works with hosts from Punktfunk 0.44 on. The new features need 0.45 on the host. • A dropped connection dials the host again instead of ending the stream, and switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data follows at once. • A host that doesn't know your device shows the waiting screen until someone approves it, instead of timing out. • Guests see the library's covers and can end or install a game without the management port. • With a monitor attached, the resolution you picked carries over to it, and iOS 27 streams to the monitor again. • Linux hosts with NVIDIA send HDR with full colour detail (4:4:4). • PyroWave needs about a fifth less bandwidth, and a frame that loses its end shows with a small blur instead of being dropped. • Less CPU per frame, a quicker first connect, and rumble reaches the controller at once. Fixed: the on-screen stick no longer feels late. In touch passthrough the hint names the two-finger pull that opens Quick Actions. The library's sort menu says which list sorts and which groups.
