OpenNOW 1.0.0
A new desktop app for your GeForce NOW library.
OpenNOW 1.0.0 replaces the Electron client with a Qt Quick interface and a native Rust streaming engine. Choose the desktop layout for keyboard and mouse, or switch to the controller-first console layout in the same app.
What's new
- Desktop and controller layouts. Browse your games at a desk or navigate with a gamepad, with first-run onboarding to help you get started.
- A library you can organize. Browse the catalog, save favorites, and group games into collections.
- Native streaming. The Rust engine handles video, audio, and input, with stream menus and live statistics over the video.
- Screenshots and recording. Capture moments from your stream and find them in Media.
- Session and device fixes. Includes the session recovery, controller input, HDR, and platform-specific decoding fixes developed for the Qt client.
Download
Choose the package for your operating system and processor. x64 is for most Intel and AMD PCs; ARM64 is for ARM-based devices.
| Platform | Recommended download | Other options |
|---|---|---|
| Windows x64 | MSI installer | Portable ZIP |
| Windows ARM64 | MSI installer | Portable ZIP |
| Linux x64 | AppImage | DEB |
| Linux ARM64 | AppImage | DEB |
| macOS Apple Silicon | DMG | Requires macOS 13 or later |
Installation
- Windows: Run the MSI installer. For the portable version, extract the entire ZIP and launch
bin/OpenNOW.exe. - Linux: Make the AppImage executable, then launch it. DEB packages require Qt 6.8+ and SDL3; use the AppImage on stock Ubuntu 24.04.
- macOS: Open the DMG and drag OpenNOW into Applications. This release supports Apple Silicon, not Intel Macs.
[!IMPORTANT] These packages are unsigned, and updates require manual download and installation. Windows may show SmartScreen or an unknown-publisher warning. The macOS app is not notarized; if Gatekeeper blocks it, use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway when offered. Do not disable Gatekeeper globally.
Before you play
You need your own GeForce NOW account. Available games and stream settings depend on your subscription, region, and hardware. OpenNOW is a community project and is not affiliated with NVIDIA.
Alliance Partners may not work correctly in this release. Windows ARM64 is cross-built and has not been runtime-tested by CI. Automated checks passed for Linux, Windows, and macOS, but that does not guarantee every GPU, display, or gameplay configuration.
Found a problem? Open an issue with your OS, GPU, and steps to reproduce it, or join the Discord community. For streaming problems, include a diagnostic export after checking it for personal information.
SHA256SUMS lets you check downloads for corruption; it is not a publisher signature. RELEASE-INFO.json (github.com) records the package inventory and source revision.
Built from c1ca7192 on main. Full changes since v0.5.5.
