Overview
PocketPane brings your connected iPhone or iPad screen into a clean, resizable window on your Mac. Connect by USB or USB-C, unlock and trust your device, then start mirroring. The capture stays local on your Mac — no account, uploads, analytics, or cloud sync.
Features
Mirror over a cable
Connect an iPhone or iPad over USB or USB-C and bring its live screen to your Mac.
A window that fits
PocketPane sizes the window to match your device's screen proportions, then lets you resize it freely.
Local by design
Screen content is processed locally while the app is running. There is no account, upload, or cloud sync.
Native Mac experience
A focused macOS utility with compact controls, device selection, and a clean preview.
Built for iPhone and iPad
Use the same simple workflow with compatible iPhone and iPad devices.
No remote control
PocketPane mirrors what is on your device; it does not control the device for you.

Exactly what I needed
Alex R. · San Francisco, CA
I demo my iPhone app designs on calls all the time. PocketPane gives me a clean resizable window without any complicated setup.

Simpler than any alternative

Plug in, trust, mirror. That's it. No accounts, no cloud, no bloat. The window sizing is especially thoughtful.

Great for presentations
Daniel K. · New York, NY
I use this to show my iPad screen during team meetings. It just works. A keyboard shortcut to pause would be the cherry on top.

No nonsense mirroring

Finally a Mac utility that doesn't make me create an account or sit through a tutorial. Open, plug in, done.

I love that everything stays on my Mac. The screen capture never leaves the machine, which matters for the work I do.
