Apperture lets you see and control one Mac app right from your iPhone — not your whole desktop. Apperture mirrors just the app that matters, full-screen on your phone, so it feels like the app is running in your hand.
Traditional screen sharing puts a 27-inch desktop on a 6-inch screen and makes you pan, zoom, and hunt for windows. Apperture takes the opposite approach: pick a single running Mac app and it fills your iPhone with a sharp,
low-latency live view sized for the screen you're actually holding.
BUILT FOR DEVELOPERS
• Mirror the iOS Simulator and it feels native: touches map directly, and rotating your phone rotates the simulated app.
• Keep working while your Mac builds and runs. Perfect for agent-assisted coding — let Claude Code or your favorite agent build and launch the app on your Mac, then review and interact with the result from anywhere in the
house.
• Stream any Xcode-launched Mac app with its real window chrome intact.
FULL CONTROL, NOT JUST A VIEW
• Tap, drag, long-press for right-click, two-finger scroll — touch input translated naturally to the Mac.
• Type with the iPhone keyboard, including full Unicode text entry.
• Browse and run the Mac app's real menu bar commands from a searchable, touch-friendly palette.
• Send clipboard text securely between devices.
• Fit-width, fit-height, and readable-zoom layout modes in portrait and landscape.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No accounts. No cloud relay. Your screen never touches our servers.
• Pairing starts with a short-lived QR code on your Mac, and the Mac owner must explicitly approve every phone.
• Connections work only over private networks — your Wi-Fi or your own VPN such as Tailscale. Public endpoints are rejected by design.
• Every session is encrypted. Pairing trust is stored in the device Keychain and never synced to the cloud.
• Review or revoke paired devices anytime. The Mac keeps a local 30-day session history — device, time, and app names only, never keystrokes or screen contents.
GOOD TO KNOW
• Apperture requires the free companion Mac app from runapperture.com. It's notarized by Apple and distributed directly because it uses Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions the Mac App Store doesn't allow.
• Away from home, you'll need a VPN to reach your Mac — Tailscale takes about five minutes to set up, works beautifully, and is free for personal use.
• Your Mac does all the work, so it needs to be on, awake, and logged in. Apperture is a viewer and controller for your own Mac, not a way to run Mac apps on iPhone.
• Apperture streams one selected window at a time — that focus is the point.
