## What it is
Apollo is a self-hosted game-streaming host (a fork of Sunshine) that streams a desktop to Moonlight/Artemis clients at the client's native resolution and framerate. It supports GPU hardware encoding on AMD, Intel, and Nvidia, a built-in Windows virtual display with HDR, per-client permissions, and a web UI for configuration and pairing.

## Use cases
- stream pc games to tablet at native resolution
- self-hosted remote desktop with low latency
- cloud gaming server for moonlight clients
- virtual display that matches client resolution automatically
- stream desktop to android device with hdr
- pair multiple moonlight clients with per-device permissions

## When to choose
- you use Moonlight/Artemis clients and want native client resolution without manual display fiddling
- you want a self-hosted alternative to cloud gaming with hardware encoding on AMD, Intel, or Nvidia
- you need per-client permission control, clipboard sync, or input-only mode

## When to avoid
- you need virtual display support on Linux (Windows-only for now)
- you want a turnkey hosted service rather than self-hosting a stream host
- you need a client app rather than a host - use Moonlight/Artemis instead
