MaNet
A downloadable tool
Turn smartphones into game controllers for local multiplayer.
No controllers? No problem.
Gather your friends. MaNet will handle the controllers.
Everyone already has a phone.
So instead of carrying a bag full of controllers, just scan MaNet's QR code and start playing.
Less setup. More time together.
MaNet is a companion app for local multiplayer PC games. It turns smartphones into game controllers. Just open the host on your PC, scan a QR code, and everyone joins using the web browser already on their phone. No downloads required.

About this project
Hi! I'm kedoshim, the developer behind MaNet.
I started this project because I wanted it to be easier to play the games I love with the people I love.
My next goal is to bring MaNet to Steam and continue improving it.
Every purchase helps fund development, and when MaNet launches on Steam, you'll receive a Steam key for free.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
