MoonyLuna is a lightweight application designed for bi-directional screen sharing between two devices, aimed at enhancing collaborative efficiency. Established in August 2022, MoonyLuna is maintained by a team of volunteers and remains free of charge. Built on C++, this graphical application communicates with a server using the HTTP protocol, without needing SSL/TLS handshakes. MoonyLuna leverages the EncFile encryption engine to exchange data between two devices through a server. Encryption and decryption occur client-side, and the server solely acts as a tunnel for point-to-point transmission, thereby ensuring personal privacy and data security.
MoonyLuna associates two usernames using a User Pair model. For details on configuration, see the section below. If you wish to create your own user pair on MoonyLuna's official server, please contact apply@mail.moonyluna.com. Your email should include two usernames (consisting of alphanumeric characters) and a brief explanation of your background and reasoning. Emails are generally processed within five days, though a response is not guaranteed. You can verify the success of your request through the MoonyLuna client.
