ServeToMe
ServeToMe is a media streaming server application that allows Mac users to stream video, music, and photo files from their computer to other devices on the same network. Part of the zqueue ecosystem, it works in conjunction with StreamToMe (available on iOS and Mac) to enable remote access and playback of media without requiring transcoding. Users typically employ ServeToMe to centralize media storage on a desktop or media server Mac and access that content wirelessly from other Macs, iPhones, iPads, or connected devices. It supports a wide variety of media formats and is particularly useful for home media sharing scenarios where network bandwidth and device storage are constraints.

1 suggestionServeToMe appears to be abandoned. The latest known version (4.0) was released many years ago, and there is no evidence of Apple Silicon or Universal Binary support in the current codebase. The zqueue developer has not released updates in recent years and the app is no longer prominently featured on their website. For a native alternative, consider using Plex Media Server, which provides robust, actively maintained media streaming with full Apple Silicon support. Plex offers superior features including remote access, automatic organization, live TV support, and is actively developed with regular updates. It requires more setup and a Plex account (with optional paid features), but it's the modern standard for home media servers on Mac and supports all Apple Silicon Macs natively.
