Renders real pixels in terminals by forcing VNC servers to resize via Kitty protocol.

Strengths
  • Forces server-side resolution changes to eliminate client-side resampling artifacts.
  • Full bidirectional clipboard sync and configurable input prefix to avoid tmux conflicts.
  • Live scaling modes and quality tuning for varying bandwidth constraints.
Weaknesses
  • Strictly requires Kitty-compatible terminals, excluding standard SSH sessions.
  • Niche utility compared to full-featured GUI clients like RealVNC or TigerVNC.
