01Mirroring
Everything on your iPhone, in one window.
Whatever your iPhone shows appears on your computer as it happens: apps, photos, games, presentations. The picture stays in the Airtwin window, so you can place it next to your other work.

05Requirements
What you need.
- Windows or macOS
- Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), or macOS 13.3 or later.
- Same Wi-Fi
- Your iPhone and your computer must be on the same network.
- Network permission
- On first start, Windows asks whether Airtwin may pass the firewall, and macOS asks for access to the local network. Without that, your iPhone can't find the computer.
- Bonjour
- On Windows, Airtwin needs Apple's Bonjour service. If it is missing, the app offers to install it. On a Mac it is built in.
06FAQ
Questions.
Do I need to install anything on my iPhone?+
No. Airtwin uses the Screen Mirroring button that is already in Control Center on every iPhone.
Is Airtwin really free?+
Yes. There is no trial period, no watermark and no account.
My iPhone doesn't list Airtwin. What now?+
Check three things: the receiver is started in the app, the iPhone and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi, and you allowed Airtwin to use the network when Windows or macOS asked.
Which computers does it run on?+
Windows 10 and 11, and Macs with macOS 13.3 or later.
Why is the picture black in some apps?+
Apps that protect their video, such as streaming services, block screen mirroring. That is a limit of AirPlay mirroring and not something Airtwin can change.
Can I record the screen?+
Airtwin has no recording of its own. You can record the Airtwin window with any screen recorder on your computer.
