Indie App Spotlight shines on Mirage, a new macOS-to-iOS screen‑sharing tool that extends Apple’s ecosystem. The app streams a Mac’s desktop to iPhone, iPad, Vision Pro, or another Mac with remarkably low latency. Support for Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil lets users treat an iPad like a full‑size laptop, delivering Retina‑sharp visuals over Wi‑Fi and supports external displays.

Most popular use case pairs a powerful Mac Studio or Mac mini with an iPad, achieving up to 120fps on Pro Motion displays. Mirage also turns an older iMac into a secondary 5K monitor via USB‑C, and can stream individual app windows, a handy workaround for iPad OS users who need a single macOS app. Remote access works through Tailscale VPN for professional workflows.

Mirage ships on the App Store for iOS 16 and later, offering a free tier limited to local‑network streaming. The Pro subscription unlocks remote connections, multi‑window support, higher audio fidelity, and the best video quality for $34.99 the first year with a 9to5Mac code. At $4.99 monthly or $39.99 annually, it positions itself as a cost‑effective alternative to Apple’s native Continuity features for power users.
