Why this one

Low-latency mirroring

Sub-50 ms input lag on a tuned LAN, with hardware H.264 / H.265 decoding (Direct3D, VA-API or NVDEC, depending on your OS) and rotation tracked down to the orientation byte.

Instant media

YouTube, Photos, Safari and Apple TV+ video play via direct HLS — near-instant start, no preroll buffering.

Works where Bonjour fails

On multi-NIC and WireGuard hosts where Apple Bonjour crashes, a bundled dnssd.dll proxies a working service or falls back to its own embedded mDNS responder.

Native & lightweight

A tiny tray app — fullscreen, multi-monitor, drag & resize with an aspect ratio locked to the picture. No accounts, no telemetry.

Windowed on Mac

Receive AirPlay in a resizable, movable window on your Mac — native AirPlay-to-Mac is fullscreen-only. (Also fully windowed on Windows and Linux.)

Auto-updates

Built-in, signed updates keep you on the latest version — one click on Windows and macOS, delta AppImage updates on Linux. Re-distribute or modify under GPL-3.0.

Three steps

  1. 1

    Install and launch — it sits quietly in your tray, advertising itself on the network.

  2. 2

    On your iPhone, iPad or Mac, open Screen Mirroring (or AirPlay from any app) and pick this computer.

  3. 3

    The video window pops up automatically. Alt+Enter for fullscreen, Esc to exit.
