The app uses an Apple API and only has access to the screen when you begin mirroring. Technically, it uses ReplayKit, a technology which allows screen recording. For privacy and performance reasons, I do not record any information. This process does not involve data transmission to the Internet or remote servers, and is not associated with any network connection. Also no files are stored on the device and the cache is clean once the session stops.
