Show HN: MeowDisplay Is iPhone Mirroring, but in Reverse

What HN thinks

Everyone wants their Mac on a smaller screen, nobody wants the lag, and someone really wants the copy to stop speaking in fragments.

Latency is the real test
Commenters say most remote display tools feel laggy, with RDP singled out as uniquely responsive because it sends drawing commands rather than raw pixels; the author reports roughly 14-17ms capture-to-handoff on Wi-Fi.
How does it differ from alternatives?
People asked how it compares to OpenDisplay (which it forks), Sill, Sidecar, VNC and RustDesk; the author explained its phone-first window handling and full-screen touch input.
AI-sounding marketing copy
One commenter found the site's terse subheadings grating, while another called the site refreshingly free of slop.

Consensus: Most agree low latency is what makes or breaks remote display tools, and that Sunshine/Moonlight and RDP set the bar, though Sunshine is gaming-oriented and awkward for desktop use.

Recommended in the comments

Sunshine (tool): Praised as the best streaming quality and latency with clients on many platforms.
NoMachine (product): Picked as the best Linux remote desktop option after trying many VNC variants.
Parsec (service): Suggested for responsiveness, though it requires cloud authentication.
voxl ↗ (tool): Mentioned as a new contender for streaming.
AlDente (product): Suggested to protect battery when keeping a MacBook awake on power.
