Field notes
Nearscreen uses local-network discovery to present nearby computers by name, then lets an iPhone begin a broadcast through Apple’s “Start Broadcast” flow. The page specifies 20 fps, 0.7 Mbit/s, and H.264, and describes a QR-code fallback for networks that block discovery. First-time phones require receiver approval, while approved devices are remembered. The receiver is described as MIT-licensed, with its source linked on GitHub and no outbound connections.
