macOS ⇄ Android
Mirror and control your phone, answer its notifications, share one clipboard, move photos and files, and use its camera as your webcam. Wireless, from one Mac app.
What it does
iPhone owners get this out of the box. JH Mirror brings the same everyday conveniences to Android, and every screenshot below is the real app.
01 Screen mirroring
Answer a chat, check a delivery or finish a level without picking up your phone. Click, scroll and type with your Mac's keyboard while the screen streams over Wi‑Fi in real time.
02 Menu bar
The menu bar icon shows a live preview of your phone. Open its screen, files, media or apps, pick something from clipboard history, or start the phone camera without hunting for a window.
03 Pocket mode
Turn the phone's display off and lock its touchscreen. It can sit dark in your pocket or face-down on the desk while you keep using it from your Mac, with no accidental taps.
On your Mac still fully usable
04 Notifications
Phone notifications arrive as native Mac notifications with the phone's own buttons. Type a reply, mark as read or dismiss, and it happens on the phone. Click one to open it in the mirrored app.
05 Universal clipboard
Copy text or an image on your phone, then press ⌘V on your Mac. It's already there.
06 Gallery & files
Browse photos, videos, audio and every folder on the phone. Preview pictures full screen, drag them straight into Finder, or drop Mac files back onto the phone.
07 Phone as webcam
Just like Continuity Camera on iPhone. Use the phone's front or rear camera in your Mac video apps, rotate or mirror it live, and add the phone's microphone for calls.
See every app on the phone, open one with a click, or uninstall it from the Mac.
Nine live checks tell you what works, what needs setup and what to do next.
New Wi‑Fi or a phone restart? It's back in about 20 seconds without you.
Hear videos, music and games from the phone through your Mac's speakers.
Drop Mac files on the phone window or the side strip to send them over.
⌘1 phone screen, ⌘2 media library, ⌘3 phone files.
How it works
No cables, no Android SDK, nothing to install by hand on the phone. Four steps, once.
Open the download and drag JH Mirror to Applications. The first time, macOS may ask you to confirm in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
On the phone: Settings → About phone → Software information, then tap Build number seven times.
In Developer options, turn on Wireless debugging. Keep the phone and the Mac on the same Wi‑Fi.
Tap Pair device with QR code and scan the code JH Mirror shows. A 6‑digit code works too.
It installs its small phone app, grants the permissions it needs over the secure connection, and opens your phone screen. No phone settings to dig through.
Android 8 to 10? Connect a USB cable once, allow USB debugging, and choose Use USB-connected phone instead.
Privacy
No account and no cloud server. The Mac and the phone talk to each other directly.
A certificate-pinned TLS channel with a random 256‑bit token, on top of an authorized debugging connection.
Camera and microphone start only when you press them. Video is never recorded.
Unpair the Mac in Wireless debugging and uninstall the phone app. Access ends right there.
Requirements
FAQ
No. It's built for Android in general and works with any phone running Android 11 or newer over Wi‑Fi (Android 8–10 over USB). It's developed and tested on a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
No account. The Mac and the phone connect over your local network, and nothing goes through a cloud server.
JH Mirror isn't distributed through the App Store yet, so the first launch needs one confirmation: open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. You only do this once.
No. JH Mirror asks the phone to switch it back on over its encrypted channel and reconnects by itself, usually in about 20 seconds.
No. It keeps the phone from idle-sleeping while the mirror is open, but it never stores your PIN or bypasses the lock screen, and it leaves your timeout and security settings unchanged.
On the phone, unpair the Mac in Developer options → Wireless debugging and uninstall the JH Mirror app. That's all.
One app for your Mac. It sets up the phone side for you.
