We started Glint because Apple’s iPhone Mirroring isn’t available in the European Union.
Using your own devices together shouldn’t mean changing your Apple Account country. We’re exploring a different path: USB and experimental live Wi-Fi mirroring with native control, in an app that feels at home on your Mac.
This is a work in progress, and we want to build it with people who care about the same thing.

A DESK WITH ROOM FOR BOTHChecking your phone shouldn’t have to pull you away from your desk. Glint brings its screen into the place where you’re already working.
One place to look.See your iPhone screen next to your Mac work, using USB or a paired Wi-Fi connection.
A familiar place to start.A native Mac app, with clear setup rather than a collection of terminal commands for basic mirroring.
A useful next step.We’re working toward dependable mouse and keyboard control. Today, that part is still experimental.
Current app captures · 24 October 2026
Explore the current Devices screen, separate USB and Wi-Fi setup, and the wireless connection state. Four current app captures show the updated flow; a generated home-screen preview illustrates the mirrored display.
USB setup walks through Cable, Trust, Mac and Video. Wi-Fi has its own pairing and connection flow.
Devices distinguishes previously paired Wi-Fi phones from USB setup. Connecting stays visible while Glint waits for live video.
Light and dark appearance, rounded controls and reduced-motion support. Accessibility and polish remain active contribution areas.
Start with USB viewing, or prepare Wi-Fi once.
Control has its own requirements.
Use a cable that supports data. Connect your iPhone directly to your Mac and select it in Glint.
Illustrated setup guide, not a live device connection. Glint cannot unlock your phone or approve system prompts for you.

No AirPlay or companion app. Wireless reliability is still being tested; USB remains available.Basic USB viewing skips this setup.
Connect your iPhone by USB, unlock it and tap Trust if asked.
On iPhone: Settings → Privacy & Security → Developer Mode. Follow the restart and confirmation prompts.
Follow the developer guide to prepare compatible Apple developer tools, an iPhone developer image and Glint’s native runtime. This development build does not install them for you.

Full requirements and setup instructions are available in the documentation.
A practical project with clear boundaries.
Useful progress, explained as we go.
Use a local cable or an authenticated connection on the same Wi-Fi. No account-country change is part of Glint’s setup.
You approve trust, unlock your physical phone and allow capture on your Mac. Glint doesn’t bypass those boundaries.
Testing, feedback and thoughtful design help make the next version clearer and more dependable.
Built doesn’t mean fully validated.
Here’s the difference.
Video capture, device selection, guided permissions and setup, plus app appearance controls.
Real-device coverage still growingLive HEVC streaming with experimental touch. USB also supports experimental mouse and keyboard control. Both need developer services for control.
Reliability is the priorityVerify clean setup, settle the license and prepare a portable, signed download.

Public launch is in preparation. A downloadable version is in preparation. Release checks and license selection are still pending.
We’re preparing a downloadable version of Glint. There is no public installer available yet.
Release and compatibility details will be shared here when the download is ready.
No. Glint is an independent project using USB video, experimental live Wi-Fi streaming and native control. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple, and it does not unlock Apple’s region-restricted feature.
USB viewing, live Wi-Fi streaming, device selection and guided setup are implemented. Wi-Fi and control remain experimental. Wi-Fi taps have been tested on a phone; swipe, lock recovery and long-session reliability need broader testing. USB control needs the native components and compatible developer services.
Yes. Glint uses a paired developer-service video stream, not AirPlay. No companion iPhone app is required. Live Wi-Fi requires iOS 27+, Developer Mode, a compatible developer image and one-time trusted USB pairing. It remains experimental and is not a promise of USB-equivalent latency.
USB offers experimental mouse and keyboard control after native-control setup. Wi-Fi supports experimental taps and drag-to-swipe; keyboard, multi-touch and hardware buttons are not available over Wi-Fi. Unlock on the physical iPhone. Test control on your own device before relying on it.
Glint’s USB path does not ask you to change your Apple Account country. Your iPhone must be connected, unlocked and trusted, and you must approve macOS capture permission.
Not yet. We’re preparing a downloadable Mac app. This website will show the installer and release details when it is ready.
USB uses a local cable; Wi-Fi uses an authenticated paired connection on your local network. Website visitor measurement can use Cloudflare Web Analytics on the public site. Local previews are excluded; no external fonts are loaded. Device pairing records, identifiers, credentials and local runtimes stay out of the source repository. Experimental control grants access to your phone: use it only on devices you own or are authorized to operate.
