Noctiluca Navigator
Read full descriptionHide full description
Noctiluca Navigator is a client app for 'Noctiluca Server', a remote desktop app for macOS. Leveraging our proprietary Sirius protocol and cutting-edge technologies, it delivers the ultimate remote desktop experience. [Features] QUIC Transport — QUIC serves as the primary transport layer for the Sirius protocol, providing low latency and high throughput optimized for remote control. Hardware-Accelerated Decoding — Utilizes iPhone / iPad hardware video acceleration to minimize CPU load and ensure smooth screen playback. Automatic Quality Adjustment — Optimizes screen quality in real time based on network conditions. Multi-Display Support — Fully supports multi-head hosts, allowing you to remotely control multiple monitors. Customizable Codec Settings — Advanced users can fine-tune codec settings to optimize for their network environment and preferences. A wide range of options is available, including YUV 4:4:4, lossless mode, and HiDPI (Retina resolution) support. TLS 1.3 Encryption — All remote sessions are secured with TLS 1.3, providing strong encryption and perfect forward secrecy. This prevents data from being intercepted or tampered with over the network. 'Known-Hosts' System — Given the nature of remote control, it is often impractical for every server to obtain a certificate from a trusted certificate authority. Noctiluca Navigator adopts a 'known-hosts' system that stores the server's certificate information on first connection and verifies it on subsequent connections, preventing man-in-the-middle attacks and protecting users from connecting to untrusted servers.
