Bring Mac apps to iPhone and iPad with Mirage. APP STREAMING Open individual Mac apps without bringing over the entire desktop. On iPad, each stream can open in its own window, so Mac apps can sit alongside iPad apps with Stage Manager. Mirage Pro supports up to eight app streams at once. Use touch, Apple Pencil, Magic Keyboard, a trackpad, or a mouse. Keyboard shortcuts, scrolling, audio, and clipboard sharing keep the experience familiar. UNIFIED STREAMING When you need the complete Mac, open its desktop as one unified stream. Work with the Mac’s existing display, use a headless Mac, or add a secondary display when needed. FAST, DIRECT CONNECTIONS Connect nearby over Wi-Fi or USB-C. Mirage Pro can also reach saved Macs through an address or VPN you control. Streams connect directly between your devices and are never relayed through Mirage servers. Mirage supports Retina quality, dynamic ProMotion frame rates, stereo, lossless and 5.1 audio, and encrypted media where available. REQUIRES A MAC Install the free Mirage Beacon companion on the Mac you want to stream from. Same-network streaming is free; Mirage Pro unlocks multiple app streams, saved Macs, remote connections, Retina streaming, premium audio, and more.
