Common Questions
What is MirrorDrop?
MirrorDrop is a free AirPlay receiver for Mac that turns your Mac into a wireless display. It lets you mirror your iPhone or iPad screen to your Mac in real time, with audio streaming included. Built natively with Swift and hardware-accelerated decoding, it runs as a lightweight menu bar app and requires no Apple TV or additional hardware.
Is MirrorDrop really free?
Yes. The free version supports screen mirroring at up to 720p resolution with a small watermark. For those who need higher quality, MirrorDrop Pro removes the watermark and supports up to 4K resolution for a one-time purchase — currently $4.99 as a launch offer (regular price $9.99). No subscription required.
How is MirrorDrop different from using an Apple TV?
MirrorDrop runs directly on your Mac — no additional hardware needed. With an Apple TV, you need a separate device connected to an external display. MirrorDrop turns your Mac itself into the AirPlay target, which is ideal for presentations, app demos, screen recording via Mac capture tools, and developers testing iOS apps on a larger screen.
Which devices are compatible with MirrorDrop?
MirrorDrop requires macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later and works on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Any iPhone or iPad that supports AirPlay screen mirroring can connect — this includes most devices running iOS 14 or later. Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
Does MirrorDrop work without Wi-Fi?
MirrorDrop requires both your Mac and iOS device to be on the same Wi-Fi network. AirPlay uses the local network for device discovery and video/audio streaming. An internet connection is not required — only a shared local network between the devices.
Can I mirror multiple devices at the same time?
The free version supports one device at a time. With MirrorDrop Pro, you can mirror up to 4 iOS devices to a single Mac simultaneously. This is useful for comparing apps side by side, running multi-device demos, or monitoring multiple screens during presentations.
