Artemis Android review
A customizable Android client for streaming Windows PC games through Apollo or Sunshine.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Artemis Android is an open-source GameStream client for streaming games from a Windows PC to an Android device. It supports play over a local network or the internet and is distributed as an Android APK, with the project also buildable from source. Its focus is control customization: Android users can tailor virtual buttons, use custom gamepad skins, add a free joystick, and choose among multiple mouse modes, including touchpad and multi-touch options.
The standout feature is the level of stream and input control available from the client. Users can specify stream resolutions and bitrates, create custom shortcut commands, and import or export custom virtual-button layouts. External-monitor mode, portrait mode, and screen rotation during games add flexibility for different Android display setups. Clipboard synchronization with Apollo extends the client beyond game input, while Apollo and Sunshine provide the supported host options.
Artemis Android fits users who already have a Windows PC available for hosting and want more control than a fixed virtual gamepad layout provides. The platform fit is intentionally narrow: the client platform is Android, and the host platform is Windows. Buyers seeking an Android-focused client with configurable controls, display behavior, and streaming settings should find its scope relevant. It is less suitable for households seeking broad client coverage across operating systems or a host setup outside Windows. The project’s open-source distribution and source-build option may also appeal to users who prefer inspecting or compiling the client themselves.
