Nearcade

You want to play local multiplayer games online with your friends. Nearsec Together makes that happen. It is an open source platform that streams your local session directly into a web browser.

Your friends do not need to download anything. You host the game and give them a link. They click it and start playing. We use peer-to-peer connections to minimize input delay.

Main Features

• Instant play: Viewers connect through a common web browser on desktop or mobile.

• Mobile support: Participants can connect from a smartphone using touch controls and virtual joysticks.

• Low input delay: Inputs are delivered directly through the operating system.

• Linux audio separation: We use PipeWire to separate game audio from voice chats.

• Routing included: The application includes Cloudflared and Zrok to create tunnels automatically without manual network setup.

Nearsec Arcade

We built a public lobby system. You publish your game on the Arcade grid. Players around the world can see your game and join through their browser.

Host Setup Requirements

If you only want to play games, you can ignore this section. Most users run our compiled binary which handles the setup automatically.

Linux (Production Ready)

• Our most stable OS.

• PipeWire must be your active audio server.

• Native rules bypass Steam Input limitations automatically.

Windows (Experimental)

• Streaming and audio work.

• You must install the ViGEmBus driver manually to get gamepad support.

Mac OS (Experimental)

• Streaming and audio work.

• Gamepads are not supported. You can only use a keyboard and mouse.
