Mirage is a brand new app that brings best-in-class desktop wireless screen sharing to your entire Apple ecosystem. You can stream from your Mac to your iPhone, iPad, Vision Pro, or even another Mac. It’s very low latency and has a plethora of great features that make it the one stop shop for remotely using your Mac.

There are a couple of headlining ways to use Mirage. Most popular way is probably Mac to iPad, which lets you use your Mac desktop on your iPad, with full support for your Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil. This is excellent if you have a powerful Mac Studio or Mac mini at home, but only carry your iPad around as a laptop. With Mirage, you can remote into your Mac with Retina quality. Despite being wireless, it actually performs quite well, and can even support up to 120fps on ProMotion iPads.
Another great use case is Mac to Mac. If you have an older (or less capable) iMac at home, Mirage can allow you to turn that iMac into a secondary monitor for your primary Mac. You can even use a USB-C cable to enhance the stream, making a 5K iMac stream possible.
