What is Alfacast?

Alfacast is a cross-platform screen mirroring and streaming solution for broadcasting live device screens across computers, mobile devices, smart TVs, and other compatible endpoints. The application combines streamer and viewer functionality in one software package so the same device can be used to send or receive content depending on the workflow. It supports macOS, iOS, tvOS, Fire OS, Android, Android TV, Wear OS, Linux, and Windows, allowing users to connect devices across several operating system families. Alfacast uses a custom UDP-based peer-to-peer architecture for direct transmission and also supports peer-to-many broadcasting for sending one stream to multiple viewers. The multichannel feature allows desktop systems to broadcast to as many as 32 channels simultaneously and mobile devices to send content to as many as eight channels. Device discovery is automatic on the local network, removing the need to scan connection codes, manually add users, or enter destination IP addresses. Supported video technologies include H.264, H.265, VP8, and VP9, giving users multiple codec options for different devices and performance requirements. The built-in streamer and viewer support output up to 4K Ultra HD at 60 frames per second for high-resolution viewing. Alfacast is decentralized and serverless, meaning users do not need to configure a separate streaming server or central infrastructure before establishing broadcasts. Connections between network nodes and active broadcasts are encrypted, with the platform using AES, RSA, and end-to-end encryption mechanisms. Its combination of cross-platform support, automatic discovery, multichannel broadcasting, and serverless operation can be used for presentations, demonstrations, entertainment, monitoring, and other local-network screen sharing scenarios. Alfacast is designed for individuals and organizations that want a flexible software-only method for mirroring and broadcasting screens across multiple device types.
