What Artemis Android is
Artemis Android streams games from a Windows PC to an Android device at home or over the internet. The project describes it as a client for Apollo and Sunshine and offers a free, open-source Android app. The client includes customizable virtual buttons with import and export support, gamepad skins, and a free joystick. Streaming controls include custom resolutions and bitrates, video scaling, frame-rate locking fixes for some devices, and in-game pan and zoom. Mouse modes include normal mouse, multitouch, touchpad, disabled, and local cursor options; non-QWERTY keyboard layouts and trackpad gestures are supported as well. Device features include external monitor and portrait modes, screen rotation, a display-on-top mode for foldable phones, and Samsung DeX scrolling support. Virtual Display and Server Command integrations, along with clipboard sync, require Apollo. Apollo is a self-hosted desktop stream host with hardware encoding for AMD, Intel, and Nvidia GPUs, plus an optional software encoder. Its Virtual Display support is Windows-only, with Linux support planned. The README offers a direct APK download and recommends Obtainium for installation.
