Monitor Mirror vs Nearscreen

Monitor Mirror privately shares a perspective-corrected view of an angled monitor between two nearby Apple devices. An iPhone captures; an iPad gives you the clear view.

Nearscreen mirrors your iPhone screen to a computer on the same Wi-Fi network. One tap — and your screen appears on your desktop. Nothing ever leaves your local network. HOW IT WORKS 1. Run the free Nearscreen receiver on your computer (download at https://nearscreen.app/receiver). 2. Open Nearscreen on your iPhone — it finds receivers on your network automatically. 3. Tap the broadcast button and choose "Start Broadcast". To stop, tap the red status indicator or simply lock your phone. ON A NETWORK THAT HIDES DEVICES Offices, dorms and guest Wi-Fi often block the discovery traffic that lets the phone find your computer. The receiver shows a QR code for exactly this: point the Camera app at it and Nearscreen opens pointed straight at that computer. You can also type the address by hand.
