Use your iPhone from the Mac screen

iPhone Mirroring puts the phone, its apps and its notifications in a window on the Mac — outside the EU.

First, the catch: iPhone Mirroring is currently unavailable in the European Union. If you are in Spain or anywhere else in the EU, it will not work for you.

Everywhere else, open iPhone Mirroring from the Dock, the Applications folder or Spotlight. The phone appears in a window and you use its apps with the Mac’s keyboard and trackpad, while the iPhone itself stays locked beside you. Its notifications can come through to the Mac too.

It needs a Mac with Apple silicon or an Apple T2 Security Chip running macOS Sequoia 15 or later, and an iPhone with iOS 18 or later set up with a passcode. Both must be signed in to the same Apple Account with two-factor authentication, have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on, and be near each other.
