Airlink turns any nearby browser into a screen for your iPhone or iPad. Tap record, and your live screen appears in any web browser on the same Wi-Fi network — no cables, no accounts, no cloud, and no apps to install on the other device. Your phone does all the work. Airlink runs entirely on your device and streams over your local Wi-Fi, so your screen never leaves your network. Just show the watch link or QR code, and anyone on the same Wi-Fi can open it in Safari, Chrome, Edge, or any modern browser and start watching in real time. Perfect for demos, tutorials, presentations, gaming, classrooms, and pair-work — anywhere you want your screen on a bigger display without AirPlay receivers or a streaming service.
