## What it is
OpenNOW is an open-source, cross-platform desktop and mobile client for NVIDIA GeForce NOW cloud gaming. It lets users browse the game catalog, tune stream settings, and launch game-streaming sessions from a community-built app.

## Use cases
- play GeForce NOW games from a custom open-source client
- stream cloud games on Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, iOS, or Nintendo Switch
- tune GeForce NOW stream quality settings
- browse the GeForce NOW game catalog outside the official app
- use a community-built GFN client instead of NVIDIA's official app

## When to choose
- you want an open-source alternative to the official GeForce NOW app
- you need GFN on platforms with weak official support like Linux or Nintendo Switch
- you want fine-grained control over stream settings

## When to avoid
- you need a fully polished, bug-free experience - the project is under active development with rough edges
- you don't use GeForce NOW or NVIDIA's cloud gaming service
- you need guaranteed native streaming - it's experimental and may fall back to Chromium/WebRTC
