AirGlass · Windows 10/11 · Free & open source
AirGlass turns a Windows PC into an AirPlay receiver. Open Control Centre on your iPhone, tap Screen Mirroring, pick your PC — and the screen appears in a window on your desktop. No cable, no account, nothing on the phone.
AirGlass handles the fiddly parts — it downloads its own engine, verifies it, and tells you when the firewall needs a click.
Run the installer, open AirGlass, click Download engine (one time, ~80 MB, checksum-verified), then Start mirroring.
Make sure the iPhone and the PC are on the same network. AirPlay discovery happens over mDNS — no Apple Bonjour install needed.
On the iPhone: Control Centre → Screen Mirroring → your PC's name (default "AirGlass"). To stop, click Stop or exit from the tray.
The engine is the open-source UxPlay, built from unmodified upstream source in AirGlass's own CI. The app is the friendly window around it.
Pick the resolution your Wi-Fi can carry, and switch between Smooth and Low-latency modes.
Set a 4-digit PIN so only people you approve can mirror to your PC.
Waiting, connected, which device — read from the engine log as it happens, with a full log viewer when you need it.
Minimises to the system tray, can start with Windows, and remembers your settings between runs.
The engine is checksum-verified against the published SHA-256 before it ever runs.
C# app under PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0; engine under GPLv3 with complete attribution in the repo's NOTICE file.
What it can't do, and what we haven't proven yet — said out loud, up front.
Windows 10 or 11. Per-user install, no admin rights, uninstallable from Settings → Apps. v1.0.1 is out now — the button downloads the installer directly. It is not code-signed, so SmartScreen will warn: click "More info → Run anyway".
