Closed beta in January · 50 testers

Your PC games,
as Mac apps.

Your Windows gaming PC streams its Steam games and apps to your Mac. Each one opens like a real Mac app. The PC stays in the other room.

The app

As it is today.

Overtoaster on the Mac: the home screen with recently played games

Made-up games; yours come from Steam. ~4 ms PC to Mac, measured (RTX 5080 → MacBook Pro, 1440p, Ethernet).

01 · Spotlight and the Dock

Every game is
a Mac app.

Each Steam game gets its own app with its cover. ⌘ Space, type, play. It sits in the Dock like it always lived there.

02 · Windows apps

Windows apps,
as Mac windows.

Steam, a terminal, any program: each in its own window next to your Mac apps. ⌘-Tab, Mission Control and full screen work like they should.

Done. Windows, but it feels like a Mac.

03 · Wake and sleep

The PC wakes
when you play.

Start a game on the Mac: the PC in the other room wakes up, streams, and goes back to sleep when you're done. You never touch it.

Requirements

The recipe.

What your setup needs for the beta (besides bread). Tested on a few PCs so far: that's what testers are for.

Overtoaster, serves one household

  • 1 Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or newer), macOS 26
  • 1 Windows 11 PC with NVIDIA GTX 16, RTX 20 or newer AV1 on RTX 40+
  • 1 home network, Mac and PC on it Ethernet recommended, needed to wake the PC
  • Steam, for the games desktop and apps work without it

Not yet: AMD and Intel GPUs · away from home · microphone · several monitors · HDR (experimental)

Who makes it

Hi, I'm Radomil. (And a toast.)

I make Overtoaster alone, in Prague, and play my PC games on my Mac this way every day. Questions go straight to me: on Discord or at [email protected].

After the beta

$29 once. No subscription.

One licence for all your Macs and PCs, every 1.x update. 14-day trial. Testers get 30 % off.

FAQ

Questions,
lightly buttered.

Something else?[email protected]
Does anything leave my home?

No. PC to Mac, encrypted, on your home network. No account, no cloud. Only a problem report you send yourself leaves.

Why not Moonlight, Parsec or Steam Link? They're free.

They're good. They show the whole PC in one window. Overtoaster makes each game and program a Mac app, sets up the PC from the Mac and wakes it on its own.

Can I keep Sunshine installed?

Yes. Different ports, own virtual display. They get along.

How fast is it?

About 4 ms from the PC's frame to the Mac's picture (RTX 5080, MacBook Pro, Ethernet, 1440p). Side by side with Moonlight: the testers will tell.

What does the PC's own screen show while I stream?

Nothing changes on it: Overtoaster uses a virtual display sized to your Mac. Anyone at the PC gets a notification with a Stop button.

My PC is on Wi-Fi. Does that work?

Yes. Ethernet is smoother, and needed to wake the PC from sleep.

What about anti-cheat and full-screen games?

The games run on a normal Windows PC; we don't touch them. Full screen works. Which games complain is what the beta is for.

How are testers picked?

From this list, early January, for a mix of hardware. Picked = one e-mail with the download, and 30 % off 1.0.

Is there an account? How is the licence checked?

No account. A key, checked offline on your Mac. The beta needs none.

Does it work away from home?

Not yet. Same home network for now.

Which graphics cards work?

NVIDIA GTX 16, RTX 20 and newer. AV1 needs RTX 40+. AMD and Intel come later.

Do I need Steam?

For games, yes. The desktop and other programs work without it.

Why does the PC's browser say “Not secure” during setup?

The PC downloads its part from your Mac over your home network. Browsers call any local page “Not secure”. Choose Keep.

Ready when your PC is.

Testers come from this list. January.
