Mirage is a new indie app that wirelessly streams your Mac's display across Apple devices, supporting iPhone, iPad, Vision Pro, and other Macs. The app delivers low-latency performance with Retina-quality streaming and works over local networks or remotely via Tailscale VPN.

The most compelling use case involves Mac-to-iPad streaming with full Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil support. Users can access powerful desktop applications on their iPad with up to 120fps on ProMotion models, making it practical for those who prefer iPad portability over carrying a laptop. Mac-to-Mac mode repurposes older iMacs as secondary displays, even supporting 5K resolution streaming through USB-C connections.

Individual app window streaming allows selective desktop access without taking over the entire iPad interface. Remote Tailscale connectivity means users can access their home Mac while traveling. The app requires iOS 26 or later and offers both free local streaming and premium features.

Mirage Pro costs $4.99 monthly or $39.99 annually, with a limited-time $34.99 first-year offer for 9to5Mac readers. This positions Mirage as a versatile alternative to expensive hardware solutions for extending Mac displays across Apple's ecosystem.
