Description

Alfacast is a screen mirroring and streaming application that allows users to send live desktop or mobile video to other devices over a local network. The application is available across macOS, iOS, tvOS, Fire OS, Android, Android TV, Wear OS, Linux, and Windows, making it suitable for mixed-device environments. Its peer-to-peer architecture enables direct device-to-device streaming, while peer-to-many support allows a single source to broadcast to multiple viewers simultaneously. Desktop systems can stream to as many as 32 channels at once, while supported mobile devices can broadcast to up to eight channels. Alfacast includes automatic local-network discovery, so compatible devices can be detected without QR codes, manual IP entry, or individual user setup. The platform supports H.264, H.265, VP8, and VP9 video codecs and automatically selects the encoder on the streaming side while allowing decoder selection on the viewing device. Video can be streamed at resolutions up to 4K Ultra HD and frame rates of up to 60 frames per second. Alfacast is completely software-based and does not require a separate streaming server, dedicated hardware appliance, or centralized server node. Connections and broadcasts are protected using end-to-end encryption with AES and RSA methods. Alfacast is intended for home users, educators, presenters, businesses, and technical teams that need cross-platform screen mirroring or multi-device broadcasting with minimal setup.
