••• Requires xScope 4 available from the Mac App Store ••• xScope Mirror lets designers and developers effortlessly preview any Mac desktop image directly on your iOS device or Apple Watch. Unlike other preview apps, xScope Mirror doesn’t have any desktop chrome to get in your way while you work or require you to save files again and again. Simply launch xScope Mirror on iOS and then xScope on a Mac to begin. Confirm the connection on iOS and then drop an image file onto the Dock icon for xScope. A remote connection to Photoshop is also supported: this lets you preview changes in your PSD while you edit. The Mirror can also display any window on your Mac or images copied to the clipboard. Finally, any image that's displayed on the iOS device can be transferred to the Apple Watch by tapping on its screen. Layouts that are taller than the watch's screen are scrollable. Any file that matches the icon sizes for the Apple Watch will be presented with circular mask against a black background, allowing quick asset previews. Features include: • Remote Viewing – Easily view the contents of any Mac desktop window on your iOS device or Apple Watch • Apple Watch – Includes a watch extension that makes previewing on your wrist a snap! • Pin & Lock – Move the Mac window anywhere (even under other windows) & it always stays in focus on iOS • Chromeless UI – No overlaid chrome to get in the way while you work • Retina Scaling - Preview mirrored content 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2 or 1:3, great for testing on Retina devices • Compatibility – Runs on all devices using iOS 5 or later • Security – Toggle user authentication requests on/off via Preferences in the xScope desktop app • Multi-client – Multiple iOS devices can connect and view the same Mac window – Great for demos or meetings • Sharing – Copy the current image to the iOS clipboard or save it in your Photos • Nudge – Nudge the selected window one pixel at a time (useful on Retina displays)

Watch YouTube with AI superpowers: live bilingual captions, instant summaries, and full transcripts — in your language. DeepSRT Mobile plays any public YouTube video through the official player and adds powerful tools for understanding it: LIVE CAPTIONS, TRANSLATED Native caption tracks are translated on the fly into your language and rendered as elegant live captions over the video. Drag to reposition, slide the right edge to resize, and choose your own background color, opacity, and corner roundness. AI SUMMARIES AND TRANSCRIPTS Every video gets a structured summary and a tap-to-seek transcript, generated in the language you choose — nine to choose from. Tap any transcript line to jump right there. NO CAPTIONS? STILL FINE (PREVIEW) Videos with no caption track at all can be transcribed by AI (opt-in, using your own Gemini API key). Timing is paragraph-grade in this preview — summaries and transcripts are the focus. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Paste a link, search by keywords, or share from YouTube. On iPhone, rotate for a stable fullscreen experience. On iPad, use landscape split view to keep the video, summary, and transcript side by side with a draggable divider. YOUR KEYS, YOUR CONTROL Bring your own API keys (Google Gemini, or OpenAI-compatible providers). Keys live in the iOS Keychain and never leave your device. No account, no tracking, and no servers of ours in the middle. Free to download, with a 7-day free trial of every AI feature. Afterwards choose Monthly, Yearly, or a one-time Lifetime purchase; playback, search and YouTube's own captions stay free. If you bought DeepSRT Mobile before it became free, everything remains unlocked forever — no purchase needed.
