Mac to iOS Screen Mirroring through USB

Entanglement

Mac to iOS Screen mirroring through USB.

This is intended to be a design proofing tool similar to Scala Preview, Xscope Mirror or Sketch Mirror except that it works exclusively over USB rather than over a network. This way your device and mac do not have to be on the same physical network.

Status

Currently a barebones implementation of an iOS client app that talks to a Mac server app over USB to share 1:1 images from the desktop to the mobile device.

Restrictions

  • Only supports iPhone
  • Only supports iPhone 5 resolution (640 x 1136)
  • Only supports sharing top corner of the screen.
  • Does not support arbitrary image sources.
  • Does not do a high framerate yet.
  • Does not handle going to sleep or background.
  • Does not take in to account physical dimensions of the device.
  • Does not do pixel doubling if required.
