A display made to fit
Pick resolution and refresh rate before the session, up to 4K on the validated path.
The Lume cockpit
Your PC stays home. Its screen follows you.
Choose the PC, create a display for the device, launch your game and take back control — from one interface.

Your launchers within reach
Desktop, Steam, Big Picture and Xbox launch remotely from the cockpit.
Take back control
Close an application or the virtual display without walking back to the PC.
One PC, several ways to play
Start in a browser. Switch to native when you want.
The PWA remains the fastest way in. Native clients are tested separately to use each device’s own capabilities.
WEBAvailable in beta
Browser
Compatible Safari or Chromium PWA, with no client-side install.
iOSPrivate TestFlight
iPhone & iPad
Invite-only Swift client. Video, audio, touch mode and Lab tools are build-validated; each device is still qualified separately.
TVPrivate TestFlight
Apple TV
Invite-only tvOS client: controller, audio and virtual display up to 4K have been tested on our setup.
APKPrivate Google test
Android & Android TV
Invite-only Kotlin client. Video and audio were validated on several devices, with model-specific limits published.
WINMSIX candidate · Lab
Windows Store
Same Flutter interface as the PWA, with a locally built MSIX. Store submission, signing and full functional validation remain.
MACTechnical beta
Helio on Mac
macOS H.264/HEVC sender proven on Apple Silicon. It is not a Nyx receiver and Windows feature parity is not claimed.
H.264 remains the baseline. HEVC depends on the encoder/decoder chain. AV1 remains an explicit Lab choice on devices proven compatible.
Proof, not promises
Skepticism falls on three proofs. Verifiable, not marketed.
128 fps
median over a 16:04 direct session (P95 140). This is a frame-rate result on one setup, not a locked-144-fps promise or a glass-to-glass measurement.
4K
validated with a virtual display on Apple TV. Other devices and frame rates are validated separately.
0 install
client-side with the PWA: Helio still has to be installed on the Windows PC. Beta native apps are an additional option.

How it works
The light travels from day to night.
Three components, one metaphor. From the sun of your machine to the screen in your pocket.
Heliocaptures the light
The agent on your PC captures the frame and encodes it in real time, right next to the GPU.
Lumecarries it
WebRTC first attempts a direct connection. If it fails, TURN relays the media when the network allows the required outbound traffic.
Nyxreceives it
The PWA and beta native clients decode the stream. H.264 is the baseline, HEVC is selected when compatible, and AV1 remains experimental in the Lab.
What moves
Living software, not a frozen release.
Anyone can stream. The difference is what comes AROUND it: a cockpit to drive your PC remotely (launch a game, spin up a custom screen, close a stuck program), the latest video tech we adopt as soon as they exist, and how fast a problem gets fixed on your machine.
Controlled Helio updates
Agent updates are verified with an Ed25519 signature. A probation period can restore the previous binary if the new version does not confirm its health.
Codecs follow proven capabilities
H.264 is the baseline. HEVC is selected when both the PC encoder and client decoder are compatible. AV1 remains an explicit Lab choice and is not enabled automatically for the whole fleet.
Quality stays under the player's control
Maximum, Balanced and Economy presets are available on the clients. Bitrate does not continuously change during a session by default; startup calibration remains experimental and disabled.
What comes next is public, dated and verifiable: the roadmap · the dev log — written from the commits, not by a marketing team.
A concrete comparison
Why choose Lume?
Because Lume combines full access to your own PC, a browser client, native apps and a remote path without router configuration. Other solutions cover some of these building blocks very well — not all of them together.

FAQ
Everything to know before testing Lume.
Installation, network, quality, security or the Pro offer: direct answers with the current limits of the beta.
Helio is installed on the Windows PC that sends the stream; a technical beta also exists for Apple Silicon Macs. On the receiving side, the PWA needs no install. Apple apps use private TestFlight and Android uses a private Google test, by invitation only.
