Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

Pippin is a Rust client that brings macOS High-Performance Screen Sharing to Linux, enabling low-latency, color-accurate remote desktop sessions with HEVC 4:4:4 video and system audio. It reverse-engineers Apple's proprietary protocol and implements hardware-accelerated decoding, dynamic display resizing, and two-way clipboard, filling a gap for Linux users needing native access to Mac screens.

Target audience: Linux users who need to access macOS machines, particularly developers and power users
