Use your iPhone from your computer.

MirrorAct Plug is a small plug for your Mac or Windows PC. Plug it in, connect your iPhone once – and it appears on your screen, where you use it with mouse and keyboard. No tech know-how needed.

iPhone · iPad · Mac · Windows

Set up

Three steps. No manual.

As easy as connecting headphones.

  1. Step 1

    Install the app

    Download it and install it like any other app – on a Mac or a Windows PC.

  2. Step 2

    Plug it in

    Into a free USB port on your computer. That’s it.

  3. Step 3

    Connect your iPhone

    Once, like headphones – the app shows you every step. From then on, your iPhone is on your screen whenever the Plug is in.

For you

Your iPhone, at your desk.

For everyone who’d rather use a mouse, a keyboard and a big screen – whatever the reason.

Type, don’t thumb

Write long messages, emails and forms on a real keyboard – in any app on your iPhone.

Big and easy to see

Your iPhone at a comfortable size, with a mouse instead of tiny touch targets – easier on eyes and hands.

Show it to the room

Put your iPhone on the projector and operate it from your laptop – for classes, trainings and demos.

Record how-tos

Make clear step-by-step videos and screenshots for parents, customers or colleagues.

Phone stays on the desk

Reply, check and scroll without reaching for your phone – and without losing your focus.

Apps without a desktop version

Use phone-only apps on the screen and keyboard you already work with.

How it works

Like a mouse – for your iPhone.

Your iPhone already knows how to work with a mouse and keyboard. The Plug is both, and the app moves it to wherever you click. That’s the whole trick.

  • Nothing to install on your iPhone.
  • Nothing goes through the internet – it all stays on your desk.
  • The Plug can’t read anything on your phone.

Fair and square

MirrorAct stays free and open source. The Plug will be a paid product: the device plus the app that drives it. You’ll know the price before you can order – and joining the waitlist is free and commits you to nothing.

FAQ

Good questions.

Do I need to know anything about tech?

No. If you can install an app and connect headphones, you can set up the Plug. The app walks you through every step.

Do I have to install anything on my iPhone?

No. You switch on one setting and connect the Plug once – the app shows you where to tap.

Which devices will it work with?

iPhones and iPads with a current iOS, and Macs and Windows PCs with a free USB port. We’ll publish the exact requirements before orders open.

What about Android?

It’s on our list. Tick “Android” on the form if you want it – that tells us how many of you do.

What will it cost, and when can I get it?

We’ll announce price and date before orders open. The first batch will be small, and people on the waitlist hear about it first.

There’s a free MirrorAct – why pay?

The free app is made for developers: to control an iPhone, it needs developer software and a few technical steps. The Plug skips all of that and works on Windows, too.

What happens to my email address?

We use it only to tell you about MirrorAct Plug. You confirm it once by email, every email has a link to unsubscribe, and we delete it when you do – or when we close the waitlist. Details are in the privacy policy.
