Airlink turns any nearby browser into a screen for your iPhone or iPad. Tap record, and your live screen appears in any web browser on the same Wi-Fi network — no cables, no accounts, no cloud, and no apps to install on the other device. Your phone does all the work. Airlink runs entirely on your device and streams over your local Wi-Fi, so your screen never leaves your network. Just show the watch link or QR code, and anyone on the same Wi-Fi can open it in Safari, Chrome, Edge, or any modern browser and start watching in real time. Perfect for demos, tutorials, presentations, gaming, classrooms, and pair-work — anywhere you want your screen on a bigger display without AirPlay receivers or a streaming service. HOW IT WORKS • Tap Start Broadcast • A watch link and QR code appear on your device • On a laptop, TV, or another phone, scan the QR or open the link in any browser • Your live screen plays instantly WHY AIRLINK • Real-time, low-latency mirroring over local Wi-Fi • Works in any modern web browser — nothing to install on the viewer • No cloud, no accounts, no sign-up — your screen stays on your network • Mirrors your entire screen, including app and system audio • Choose your quality — pick the resolution and frame rate that fit your network • Clean, simple, one-tap experience GREAT FOR • Product demos and client presentations • Recording tutorials and walkthroughs on a big screen • Showing photos, videos, or slides to a room • Mobile gaming on a larger display • Teaching and classroom sharing • Pair programming and design reviews PRIVATE BY DESIGN Airlink streams only over your local Wi-Fi network. Nothing is uploaded to the internet, there are no accounts, and there is no tracking. Viewers connect directly to your device. Note: Airlink and the viewing device must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
