Why We Built Bavua

Every knowledge worker knows the pain. You're deep in a design review on your MacBook, but the reference material is on your iPad. You want to extend your desktop to your Android tablet during a flight, but AirPlay only talks to Apple. You need to present from your Windows laptop to a Samsung TV in a conference room, and suddenly you're hunting for dongles.

We've all been there. And we decided it was time to fix it.

Bavua turns any device into an additional display for any other device. Mac to Android. Windows to iPad. Phone to Smart TV. No cables. No dongles. No ecosystem lock-in.

How It Works

Bavua is built on three principles:

1. Universal Protocol

Our custom QUIC-based transport protocol speaks to every platform natively. We don't wrap existing protocols or rely on Miracast/AirPlay bridges. We built our own stack from the ground up, optimized for one thing: getting pixels from one screen to another with imperceptible delay.

2. Hardware-First Encoding

Every modern device has a dedicated video encoder sitting idle most of the time. Bavua taps directly into NVIDIA NVENC, AMD AMF, Intel QuickSync, Apple VideoToolbox, and Android MediaCodec. The result: 4K at 120fps with sub-16ms latency, while using less battery than a video call.

3. Zero-Knowledge Security

Your screen content never touches our servers. Connections are peer-to-peer with AES-256 encryption and DTLS 1.3. We literally cannot see what you're sharing. By design.

What You Can Do Today

  • Mirror your screen to any device on the same network
  • Extend your desktop to use tablets and phones as additional monitors
  • Stream to Smart TVs for presentations and media
  • Draw with full stylus support — Apple Pencil, S Pen, Wacom, and more
  • Pricing That Makes Sense

    We believe screen sharing should be free for basic use. Bavua Lite gives you one device at 1080p, forever free. When you need more devices, higher resolution, or wireless streaming, Pro starts at just $4.99/month.

    What's Next

    This is just the beginning. We're working on cross-network streaming for remote teams, virtual display drivers for true monitor emulation, and deep integrations with creative tools. Follow our changelog to stay up to date.
