[Moonlight Native](http://moonlight-stream.com) is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream, as used by the NVIDIA Shield, but built to run natively.

Moonlight allows you to stream your full collection of games from your powerful desktop to another PC or laptop running Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, or Chrome OS.

Moonlight also has mobile versions for [Android](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-android) and  [iOS](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-ios).
