## What is Nearscreen?

Nearscreen mirrors your iPhone screen to a computer on the same Wi-Fi network. One tap — and your screen appears on your desktop. Nothing ever leaves your local network.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Run the free Nearscreen receiver on your computer (download at https://nearscreen.app/receiver).
2. Open Nearscreen on your iPhone — it finds receivers on your network automatically.
3. Tap the broadcast button and choose "Start Broadcast".

To stop, tap the red status indicator or simply lock your phone.

ON A NETWORK THAT HIDES DEVICES
Offices, dorms and guest Wi-Fi often block the discovery traffic that lets the
phone find your computer. The receiver shows a QR code for exactly this: point
the Camera app at it and Nearscreen opens pointed straight at that computer. You
can also type the address by hand.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your video is streamed only to a receiver on your own network
• No cloud, no servers, no accounts
• No analytics, no tracking — we collect no data at all

FAST AND EFFICIENT
• Hardware H.264 encoding — smooth motion, low battery drain
• Low-latency streaming over your local network
• Keeps broadcasting while you use other apps or lock into a game

GOOD FOR
• Showing your phone on a bigger screen in meetings and classrooms
• Demoing and testing apps
• Streaming mobile gameplay to your desktop setup
• Any moment when screen mirroring should stay strictly on your own network
