Link Direct

Link Direct lets you discover and pair with a Mac on your local network from iPhone or iPad, stream the screen in real time, and control it with touch, shortcuts, and the system keyboard. What you can do • Find nearby Macs running the companion host app • Pair securely with a six-digit code; reconnect quickly after you trust a device • Live screen streaming for the full desktop, another display, or a single app window • Use touch as a mouse, two-finger scroll, shortcut keys, and text input • Sync plain-text clipboard both ways during a session • Choose from three quality presets; pinch to zoom and use immersive window mode Security and privacy • After pairing, the session uses Apple CryptoKit encryption • Trust credentials stay in Keychain on device—no account, no cloud relay • The Mac host clearly shows when it is being controlled; either side can end the session • Screen and input stay between your own devices on the LAN Before you start • Install and open the companion macOS host (same product, Mac target) • Keep phone and Mac on the same Wi‑Fi and allow Local Network access • On the Mac, grant Screen Recording and Accessibility (input) permissions • This is a same-network direct tool—not a public-cloud remote desktop service From the sofa, during a presentation, or when you step away for a minute—see your Mac and control what you see.
