Desktop app: Game streaming requires a Mac with a connected display; tuning and monitoring happen during seated gaming sessions. Sample screens on a computer, in the proposed brand. Their numbers are sample data.

About this appAI proposal
Steadyair watches for a game stream on your Mac and applies the network settings that cut stutter and latency, including AWDL handling, then restores everything when you stop. No terminal commands, no scripts to remember before each session.
It is made for Mac players who stream with Moonlight, GeForce NOW, Parsec or Steam Link. Public claims say these services do not tune the Mac's network for you. Steadyair does that one job, and shows what it changed and how the connection behaved.
A small signed Mac helper does the system changes. The web app (installable as a PWA) holds your profiles, session history and reports, so you can see what helped on your own network.

- Why this name
- Steadyair names the goal, a steady wireless link, in two plain words. It avoids the names of streaming services and network tools.
In the first version
Members say which features they would use. It tells PWAS what people want; it changes no score.
Detects your stream automatically
Recognises when Moonlight, GeForce NOW, Parsec or Steam Link starts streaming and turns tuning on. It turns off when the session ends.

One-switch AWDL handling
Keeps AWDL from interrupting the Wi-Fi link during a stream, then puts it back afterwards so AirDrop and AirPlay work again.

Per-service profiles
Save different settings for each service or each room, and let the app pick the right one.

What it could be worthEstimate
What a software business making this much sells for today, from real deals. Pick a monthly revenue.
If it makes
Worth about
$194,000
Sale range $132,000 to $263,000
$120,000 a year in revenue
From 87 software businesses listed and sold on Empire Flippers in the last year, revenue vetted by the broker: they sell for about 19× their monthly revenue, most between 13× and 26×.
Measured on profit, the middle deal is 32× monthly net profit: about 2.7 years of profit.
An estimate, not an offer or financial advice. A real price depends on profit, growth, churn, how much of the work is the owner's, and the buyer.
How it would growAI proposal
How the product would reach new customers through its own use, and how the first ones would be found. A plan to test, not a result.
- Built-in loop
- No loop in the product. Reached through content and communities: setup guides, forum answers and short before-and-after clips. Reports are private, so use does not itself reach new people.
- Do they become customers?
- Test whether free users who see a clear stutter drop in their first report upgrade to Pro or Lifetime. A shareable report link could be tested later.
- First customers
- Mac owners who stream games over Wi-Fi with Moonlight, and who already follow AWDL fixes or tried the open-source script.
- Where to reach them
- GitHub and Moonlight forums: Answer stutter threads and offer a no-terminal alternative, linking the free tier.
- Reddit Mac gaming communities: Post a short guide with before-and-after session reports.
- YouTube streaming guides: Give early access to creators covering Mac cloud gaming setups.
- First milestone
- Twenty-five paying Moonlight users on Mac within 60 days of launch, from a free-tier base.

RisksAI inference
- TechnicalChanging AWDL needs elevated rights and may break on new macOS releases. The helper needs steady testing across versions and Apple silicon Macs.
- PlatformApple signing, notarization and privileged-helper rules could limit distribution. Sandboxed App Store release is likely not possible.
- CommercialA free open-source script already automates AWDL for Moonlight (469 stars in 39 days). Users may not pay for what a script does.
- TechnicalDisabling AWDL can break AirDrop, AirPlay and Handoff while it is held off. Restore must be reliable after crashes.
- DataGains vary by network, so reports may show little improvement for some users. Honest results could hurt conversion.
