LOCAL-FIRST. LOW LATENCY.
Direct Control Lab

Control your computer from anywhere. Direct when possible.

Host on your Mac. Scan from your phone. We connect over direct peer paths with WebRTC. If needed, we fall back to TURN.

End-to-end encrypted. You stay in control.

What it does

Host on Mac

Start a screen-share host and keep the session owned by your machine.

Scan to connect

Open the controller from a phone or another browser in seconds.

Direct when possible

Prefer peer-to-peer paths first, then fall back only when needed.

Up to 120 FPS

Request high-refresh capture profiles when the host setup supports them.

4K+ ready

Ask for 4K and larger desktop streams without locking the app to one size.

Secure by default

Media and control stay encrypted, observable, and intentionally scoped.

Quality lab

The ring is live, not decorative.

Halo keeps the buying claims attached to visible product controls: route, capture quality, app target, bitrate, packet loss, and the controller URL.

Why it feels fast

Direct peer first

ICE probes the best path between controller and host before relay.

High-refresh pipeline

Hardware acceleration, efficient codecs, and capture profiles up to 120 FPS.

Minimal overhead

One optimized media/control connection instead of stacked tools.

Smart fallback

TURN is there for hostile networks without becoming the default.
