A wall mirror shows the front. SecondMirror helps you see the rest. Use one nearby iPhone, iPad, or Mac as the Camera and another as the Viewer. Place the Camera where it can see the angle you need, then watch and control the live view from the second device. Keep both hands free and your body in position while you see what a wall mirror cannot show. BUILT FOR EVERYDAY MOMENTS • Cut, trim, braid, or style your hair while seeing them in the the back and sides or any direction) • Zoom in on eyebrows, ears, hairlines, shaving lines, necklines, and other grooming details • Check how an outfit looks from the front, side, and back before you leave • Move the Camera to preview different poses and framing before taking a photo • Track your gym physique progress. See your back or physique from difficult angles and capture photos or videos for your own progress checks • Observe posture, dance, or gym movements without turning your head during trainings and workouts • Add a short delay to complete a movement first, then watch it on the Viewer A VIEW YOU CAN CONTROL • Live nearby Camera-to-Viewer connection • Natural and mirrored orientations • 4:3 and 16:9 viewing options • Camera zoom plus Viewer zoom and pan • Freeze the view to inspect a detail • Add an adjustable delay of up to 10 seconds • Switch cameras and control the torch when supported • Take photos and record videos • Review, save, share, or delete captures in the local gallery *** YOUR CAMERA FEED STAYS BETWEEN YOUR DEVICES SecondMirror sends the live view directly from the Camera to the nearby Viewer you choose. It is never routed through or stored on a SecondMirror backend or cloud video service. We do not receive your camera feed, photos, or recordings. Captures stay on the device where they are saved unless you choose to export or share them. No SecondMirror account is required. *** ONE APP FOR IPHONE, IPAD, AND MAC Use an iPhone or iPad for a portable setup, or a Mac when you want a larger Viewer. Place the Camera. Watch from the Viewer. See the angle clearly.
