iPhone on your computer

Put your iPhone on your computer.

It works like an Apple TV. Open ScreenSolo, tap Screen Mirroring on your iPhone, and your phone is on the big screen — no cable, nothing to install.

Free on Mac and Windows, and it doesn't expire. No account needed to start mirroring.

An iPhone and a laptop side by side with empty space between them. The phone's screen is showing on the laptop, connected by wireless signal arcs rather than a cable.

Four steps, about a minute

  1. Install ScreenSolo on your computer

    Mac or Windows, same app, same subscription. The free tier is enough to try this.

  2. Check both devices share a Wi-Fi network

    That's how they find each other. No cable, no pairing code, no setup.

  3. Tap Screen Mirroring on the iPhone

    Open Control Centre, tap Screen Mirroring, and pick your computer from the list.

  4. That's it — your phone is on screen

    ScreenSolo offers to show it full screen with Focus Mode, or you can move and resize it yourself.

A real iPhone, mirrored onto a computer and recorded with ScreenSolo.

Once it's on screen

Record the phone

Capture it as video, saved straight to your computer.

Record your desktop too

The phone becomes its own layer you can move or hide afterwards.

Smart Capture films the clicks

It zooms in on every tap, so it looks edited before you edit it.

Export it anywhere

MP4 up to 4K, widescreen, vertical or square. Or a PDF guide.

What you need

  • A Mac on macOS 13 or later (Apple Silicon), or a PC on Windows 10 or 11
  • iPhone or iPad on iOS 15 or later
  • Both on the same Wi-Fi network
  • No cable, and no app on the phone

Common questions

Do I need a cable?

No. It works over your Wi-Fi network using AirPlay, which is already built into your iPhone.

Do I need to install anything on my iPhone?

No. Only on the computer. Your iPhone already knows how to do this.

Does this work on Windows?

Yes, on Windows 10 and 11. Windows can't receive AirPlay by itself, so ScreenSolo adds that.

Can I mirror more than one iPhone at once?

No — one iPhone at a time, on every plan.

How long can I mirror for free?

Five minutes at a time, up to five times a day. A small countdown beside the ScreenSolo logo shows how long is left, and the count resets at midnight. Pro has no limit.

Can I record my desktop and my iPhone at the same time?

Yes, on Pro. The phone records as its own track, so you can move, resize or hide it after the fact.

Is my screen sent anywhere?

No. Everything stays on your computer. Nothing is uploaded and there's no cloud account needed to record.

Will there be a watermark?

On Free, recordings carry a small mark in one corner, and while you mirror a small ScreenSolo logo and countdown sit in the corner of the phone. Pro removes both.
