Cloud gaming on macOS has improved a lot over the last few years, but I kept running into the same issues: random ping spikes, micro-stutters, Bluetooth latency, and network interruptions caused by background system services.

Instead of tweaking settings manually every time I launched a gaming session, I decided to build a small native macOS utility to automate the process.

The result is CloudBoost.

When troubleshooting cloud gaming performance on macOS, I noticed that many issues weren't caused by internet speed.
