MacBook Pro mirrored onto a 27-inch iMac at 5K

Real 5K

Streams 5120 × 2880 with HEVC when both Macs can handle it, and falls back to H.264 when they cannot. A 2017 27‑inch iMac decodes 5K HEVC in hardware.

Any route

Automatic, or pin the stream to Wi‑Fi, Ethernet or Thunderbolt. Every link is measured live and each quality option is checked against that speed.

Works with your iMac

iMac 2017, 2019, 2020 (21.5″ and 27″) and iMac 24″ 2021 — anything running macOS 13 Ventura or later, on either end.

A guide built in

Step by step on first launch and always in Help: both Macs, permissions, connecting, the fastest route and fixes.

Edit on the big screen

With the direct‑download version you can also extend: your timeline on the iMac's 5K display, your footage on the MacBook Pro — one desktop, one keyboard, one mouse. The App Store version mirrors.

Extended desktop: video editor on the iMac, footage on the MacBook Pro
