## What is 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

## Key features

### 5/5 — Gut

*2026-10-01*

Bis jetzt kann ich nichts negatives sagen. Ich habe als Host Moonlight, Apollo, vibepollo und vibeshine genutzt. Genau im der Reihenfolge :)… hatte mit den letzten die meisten Probleme. Besonders mit Vibepollo. Immer wieder slow connection to host erschien, trotz sehr guter WLAN Verbindung wlan 7 6ghz nur fürs streamen reserviert. Seitdem ich Punktfunk nutze habe ich keine Probleme mehr. Läuft bei 200mbit ohne Problem :)

Top.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 0.43.1 — 2026-10-05

The speed test now finds your connection's limit before it measures loss and jitter. It tells you what it found in plain words and turns on paced delivery for that host with one tap. Controller rumble can be turned off, an iPad keyboard opens the quick-action dial with the same shortcut as the Mac, and the iPad Shortcuts screen lists every key, shortcut and gesture.

Fixed: one bad audio packet no longer silences the rest of a session, lossless audio stays in sync, and the speed test reports connections faster than about 77 Mbit/s at their real speed.

### 0.42.0 — 2026-10-01

• Spiel beenden: Ein Spiel, das dieses Gerät gestartet hat, beendest du aus der Bibliothek oder dem Schnellaktionen-Ring. Der Stream schließt, sobald es beendet ist.
• Controller-Maus mit Touchpad-Modus: Das Spiel behält den Controller, während sein Touchpad den Mauszeiger des Hosts bewegt.
• Tasten bleiben nicht mehr hängen, wenn ein Paket verloren geht, und ⌘-Kombinationen und Control erreichen den Host.
• Touch-Modus „Off“ und eine Schnellaktionen-Taste auf dem virtuellen Controller.
• Große Bibliotheken laden seitenweise.
• Selten geänderte Einstellungen liegen unter „Show advanced“, und jede Auflösung lässt sich eintippen.
• Das Statistik-Overlay sitzt in der Ecke und in der Größe, die du wählst.
• Unter iOS 27 kann die Home-Taste des Controllers an den Host gehen, über die Controller-Einstellungen.
• Behoben: Das Bild friert nach einer Unterbrechung nicht mehr ein, der Speicher wächst in langen Sessions nicht mehr, und ein seltener Absturz bei der Videoausgabe auf dem iPad ist weg.

### 0.40.0 — 2026-09-27
