Moqintosh (t-gazzy)

2026-05-21: Moqintosh announced on #moq Slack May 20 15:22 UTC by gazzy (Toshiro Igarashi) — “Hi. I have released iOS client for MoQ. I hope iOS developers use. • Pure Swift • Client Only • draft-14 based • github.com/t-gazzy/Moqintosh” (2× 👍 reactions). 14th distinct open-source MoQ implementation tracked by the wiki and first iOS-targeted client. Repo created Apr 10 2026, last pushed May 20 15:27 UTC, 3 stars at announcement. Draft-14 baseline is 2 revisions behind the May 12 draft-18 watermark.

Paul Gregoire (OpenMOQ / mondain/moqxr) replied May 20 15:31 UTC: “I made ‘toy’ I was messing around with over the weekend, I named mine nearly the same ‘moqntosh’; I guess we thought of the same play on words.” — name-coincidence note; Paul has a private moqntosh toy not in the wiki.

Language: Swift (pure Swift, no Objective-C) Maintainer: gazzy / Toshiro Igarashi (t-gazzy) GitHub: t-gazzy/Moqintosh Repo description: “Pure Swift Media over QUIC framework”

Overview

A pure-Swift Media over QUIC client library, iOS-focused, currently positioned as a client-only implementation (no relay/publisher functionality at announcement). The project is the first MoQ implementation that natively targets Apple platforms via Swift rather than wrapping a C library through Objective-C interop.

Draft Support

• draft-14 (current, May 21 2026)
• No relay support announced
• No publisher functionality announced — “Client Only” per the announcement

The 2-draft-revision gap (current matrix and most peers are at draft-16+, with moq-dev, imquic, and moqxr all on draft-18) positions Moqintosh as an exploratory rather than interop-target implementation. No PR filed against englishm/moq-interop-runner to register Moqintosh as an interop endpoint.

Maintainer history on the #moq Slack

gazzy is a recurring participant in #moq:

• 2026-05-20 15:22 UTC: Moqintosh announcement.
• 2026-05-16 (May 16): OS-level audio bug question.
• 2026-03-03 07:24 UTC + 2026-03-03 05:36 UTC: questions about “how to send big data like video I frame on the datagram” — discussion with afrind about whether to use streams (subgroups) instead.

Carry-forward

• No London hackathon participation announced by gazzy. The 2-revision gap also means Moqintosh cannot participate in moqxr/imquic/moq-dev bilateral interop without a draft-bump.
• Possible relay or publisher work would significantly elevate Moqintosh’s interop-target status; right now the “Client Only” scope is similar to shaka-player (player-only) but for a different host platform.
• Apple/Swift ecosystem reach is a structurally new audience for MoQ — pre-Moqintosh, all Apple-platform MoQ work was via moq-rs (C FFI) or shaka-player (web). The pure-Swift framework opens a new platform-native deployment path.
