I'm Jod. I stream mobile games from India, and for a long time every stream started with the same fight: getting my iPhone onto my computer without it falling apart.

I tried mirroring apps, the built-in tools and capture cards. Some lagged. Some dropped frames or cut out in the middle of a match. The ones that held together still didn't get along with my streaming setup: the OBS feed went soft or black when the window was hidden, and the mic needed fixing every single time. On a Mac with a cable it was worse. An update could break wired mode, or the iPhone simply wouldn't show up.

So I stopped looking for the right app and started building it.

I went through every problem I had hit, one at a time: the delay, the dropped frames, the cable, the sound, the recordings lost when something crashed. I stayed on each one until I understood why it happened and it stopped happening. It took a lot of late nights and a lot of testing.

That became Kagami. 鏡 means “mirror” in Japanese. It mirrors an iPhone or iPad to a Windows PC or a Mac in full quality, up to 120 Hz, over Wi-Fi or a cable, with recording, instant replay, studio-quality mic clean-up and a clean OBS feed built in. Nothing to install on the phone.

It is still being built. A real person answers support, every update goes into the public changelog, and the community board shapes what comes next.
