Vibe coded with Codex, for the people. Free and open source under GPLv3.

What's new

  • System hotspot only. Direct Wi-Fi Hotspot uses the network you set up in Android Settings. Open those settings from the Connection card. Choose 5 GHz if available and turn off automatic hotspot shutdown for long sessions. The device manages the network across stream starts and stops.
  • Persistent pairing for multiple clients. The upgrade preserves the saved pairing. Pairing another client adds it to the host’s saved clients. If discovery misses a network address change, add Amaterasu’s current address in the client.
  • Live stats. View encoder and sender FPS, video payload bitrate and recent drops in a protected panel on the host.
  • Experimental hardware AV1. The option requires a hardware AV1 encoder that supports the selected mode and a compatible client. The tested Odin2 Portal exposes AV1 decoding only. H.264 and HEVC remain available.
  • Lower memory overhead. 4K FSR uses a smaller scratch texture. Amaterasu trims its video buffer cache when Android reports memory pressure and records an extra diagnostic sample.

Install and test

Download Amaterasu-0.6.7.apk. This is an arm64 development-signed build with the same package and signing key as the v0.6.1 preview, so an in-place update from that APK retains pairing and settings.

Start at 1080p/60 with a modest bitrate and match the output mode in Moonlight or Artemis. Use Existing Wi-Fi LAN on a shared router or external hotspot. Use Direct Wi-Fi Hotspot when the Android host itself provides the network. Start sharing on the host and approve Android’s capture prompt before launching Screen in the client.

Known limitations

  • Android can still terminate the host under memory pressure. This happened during the v0.6.7 4K FSR retest after the buffer trim ran.
  • The Odin’s 5 GHz system hotspot ran more smoothly than 2.4 GHz in our testing. The trials did not isolate Wi-Fi band from all other variables. Hotspot availability and band controls vary by Android device.
  • AV1 frame handling passed a sample decode check. Live AV1 playback still needs a compatible Android host and receiver for validation.
  • Device audio depends on Android playback capture permissions. Dimming requires permission to modify system settings. 120 FPS remains experimental.

The APK signature, host checks and Android layout checks passed. Matching host source, pinned dependency sources and SHA-256 checksums are attached. Diagnostic logs and private device data remain local.
