Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 5)

Sill for Android is an unofficial Android client that streams and controls Mac windows over the local network, implementing Sill's proprietary wire protocol without modifying the Mac host. It handles complex tasks like Bonjour discovery, TLS 1.3 with SPKI pinning, HEVC decoding, and gesture-to-input mapping, making it a technically impressive but niche tool for cross-device Mac control.

Target audience: Android users who own a Mac and want remote window control
