Turn your iPhone into a wireless microphone for your computer. Microphone Link streams your iPhone's mic to your Mac over Wi-Fi and registers it as a real system microphone — so it appears in the input list of every app: video calls, streaming, screen recording, voice memos, anything that uses a mic. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the free companion app on your Mac (https://miclink.eggmango.com) 2. Scan the QR code shown on your Mac's screen 3. Select "Microphone Link" as the microphone in any app — done WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • One-scan pairing — scan the QR on your PC and you're connected. No IP addresses, no account, no setup. • Real microphone device — not a browser trick. Your computer sees a native input device that works everywhere. • Clear voice — 48 kHz stereo audio over the efficient Opus codec. • Three latency modes — Low latency (~50 ms) for real-time use, Balanced (~100 ms) for calls, High quality for recording. • Private by design — audio travels only over your local network and never touches the internet. Pairing is protected by a PIN shown on your computer's screen; the wrong PIN gets no audio. • Auto-discovery — your iPhone finds nearby computers on the same Wi-Fi and lists them. Can't see the screen? Type the PIN instead. • Live level meter and mute — see your input level at a glance and mute instantly. • Keeps streaming in the background while you use other apps. WHAT YOU NEED • iPhone with iOS 16 or later • Mac with macOS 13 or later, Window PC and the free Microphone Link desktop app • Both devices on the same Wi-Fi network Visit https://miclink.eggmango.com/
