View My Screen is the free companion to Remote Screen Viewer — a two-app solution for real-time screen sharing between people who know each other, such as an adult child helping a parent, or a friend helping a friend. HOW IT WORKS: Tap "Share My Screen." A 6-digit code appears on your screen and is automatically read aloud. Read it to your helper over the phone. They enter that code in Remote Screen Viewer and can instantly see your screen. ONE BUTTON. THAT'S IT. No accounts, no setup, no tech skills required. If you can tap a button, you can use this app. YOUR HELPER CAN SEE — BUT NOT TOUCH: This app is view-only. Your helper sees your screen exactly as it appears but cannot tap, type, swipe, or control anything. You stay in control at all times. NO RECORDING: Sessions are never recorded or stored. The moment you stop sharing, your screen is private again. NO AUDIO IN THE APP: View My Screen does not use your microphone. Talk to your helper on a regular phone call at the same time. FREE FOREVER: View My Screen is completely free to download and use. No trial. No subscription. No payment ever required. YOUR HELPER NEEDS THE COMPANION APP: Remote Screen Viewer ($2.99) — available separately on the App Store. That is the app your helper uses to see your screen.

ShowMe Screen turns your device into a wireless display receiver — for supported devices over Screen Mirroring, and for any desktop web browser over the internet. No companion app, no display driver, nothing to install on the sender. MIRROR FROM COMPATIBLE DEVICES Open the app, tap Start Receiver, then choose your device from Control Center > Screen Mirroring. Your sender's screen streams directly to your device over Wi‑Fi. SHARE FROM ANY BROWSER Open the secure share link in a web browser on any desktop computer and click Share — your screen streams straight to ShowMe Screen over WebRTC. It connects peer‑to‑peer on the same Wi‑Fi and now works across different networks too, falling back to a secure relay when needed. No account, no extension, no install. FEATURES • Zero setup on the sender — no helper app, no driver • Peer‑to‑peer streaming — video goes straight to your device, encrypted in transit • Works across networks — share from another room or building, not just the same Wi‑Fi • Live connection status and latency, with a direct/relayed indicator • Full‑screen viewing — portrait and landscape, tap to hide controls • Pinch to zoom — up to 5× with pan to inspect any detail • A/V sync — hardware‑decoded video with synchronized audio • Picture in Picture — float the stream while using other apps • Trusted device approval — approve once, reconnect instantly REQUIREMENTS • Screen Mirroring needs both devices on the same Wi‑Fi • Browser sharing works on the same network or over the internet • Local Network permission is used for device discovery • Performance depends on network quality and device capability ShowMe Screen is the fastest way to get any screen — your compatible devices or desktop web browsers — onto your device, with no cables and no software on the other side.
