What is OpenNOW?

OpenNOW is a community-built Electron app for playing GeForce NOW from an open-source desktop client. The active implementation lives in opennow-stable/ and uses Electron, React, and TypeScript across the main, preload, and renderer processes.

The project aims to give players a transparent, customizable alternative to the official client without hiding the technical parts from contributors.

Highlights:

  • Open-source desktop client for Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • Catalog and public game browsing with search and library-aware session handling
  • Stream controls for codec, resolution, FPS, aspect ratio, region, and quality preferences
  • In-stream diagnostics overlay with latency, packet loss, decode, and render stats
  • Built-in screenshots, recording, microphone controls, and controller-friendly navigation
  • Local settings storage and zero-telemetry project direction
