MiniBridge: Control & Display

Control your Mac mini from iPhone or iPad with its screen, trackpad, mouse, and keyboard in one place. Connect securely over USB or Wi-Fi—no cloud screen relay.

MiniBridge turns your iPhone or iPad into an all-in-one local control console for your Mac mini. See the Mac desktop, move the pointer, use gestures, and type from the device already beside you.

CONTROL YOUR MAC MINI • Use a responsive relative trackpad for precise pointer movement • Click, drag, right-click, and scroll with two fingers • Use multi-finger gestures to move between Mac desktops • Type with text input, navigation keys, modifier keys, and common shortcuts

SEE YOUR MAC DESKTOP • View the Mac desktop on iPhone or iPad • Get low-latency playback with hardware H.264 decoding • Work in landscape or portrait orientation • On compatible macOS versions, create a virtual desktop for a headless Mac mini after one-time setup • Mirror an attached display when virtual-display mode is unavailable

CONNECT BY USB OR WI-FI • Use USB for a direct, low-latency local connection • Pair over encrypted Wi-Fi when a cable is not convenient • Keep screen, keyboard, and pointer traffic between your devices, with no MiniBridge cloud relay

ONE-CABLE MODE The same USB cable can carry MiniBridge display and control data while your Mac uses the iPhone Personal Hotspot connection that you enable in Settings. MiniBridge reports USB control and Mac network status separately and never changes your network route automatically.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No MiniBridge account • No advertising or third-party analytics SDK • No cloud screen relay • No automatic diagnostic upload • Paired Wi-Fi credentials are stored in Apple Keychain

GET STARTED MiniBridge requires the free Mac companion. First use requires “Trust This Computer” on iPhone or iPad, plus Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions on Mac. A physical monitor is still required for initial Mac setup and FileVault pre-boot unlock.

MiniBridge is free to download. After the first successful Mac connection, you can start a 7-day full-feature trial without an App Store purchase or payment information. The trial cannot renew or charge you. Continue with an optional one-time Full Unlock—there is no subscription or per-Mac fee. Prices are shown by the App Store.

Requires iOS/iPadOS 17 or later and macOS 14 or later. Personal Hotspot must be enabled by you in Settings, and availability depends on your carrier and plan.
