Installing ScreenSolo

Download from screensolo.ai/download. Both platforms are live:

  • Mac — a signed and notarised .app. Drag it into Applications. (macOS 13 or newer, Apple Silicon.)
  • Windows — a .exe installer. Run it, then allow ScreenSolo through the Defender Firewall prompt on first launch so your iPhone can find it. (Windows 10 or 11 — see Installing on Windows for the full steps.)

ScreenSolo doesn't need an account to mirror, record, annotate, or export. You only need to sign in if you want the AI features.

Connecting your first iPhone

Nothing installs on your iPhone — mirroring uses AirPlay, which is built into iOS. ScreenSolo itself runs only on your computer.

  1. Open ScreenSolo on your computer. It immediately advertises itself as an AirPlay display on your local network.
  2. On your iPhone, open Control Centre and tap Screen Mirroring.
  3. Pick <your computer name> · ScreenSolo from the list.

That's it. The mirrored screen appears in the ScreenSolo window within a second or two. Portrait or landscape both work; ScreenSolo adapts.

What if I want to keep mirroring private?

In Settings → Receiver name + PIN, turn on Require PIN. ScreenSolo will then prompt for a four-digit code on the iPhone whenever someone tries to connect. Good for shared spaces like classrooms or open-plan offices.

What an account unlocks

Sign in (via the sidebar account chip) to:

  • Use the AI features (Smart Extract, snapshot write-ups, Session Summary, and Direct the video)
  • Subscribe to Pro — one plan that includes everything, AI and all

Account is optional — the app's core mirroring, recording, and local export all work without one.
