Getting Started

- Open Control Pro on your iPhone or iPad — your computer appears automatically when both are on the same network.
- Enter the one-time pairing code shown on your computer, and you're connected.
Frequently Asked Questions
My computer doesn't appear in the app. What do I check?
Make sure both devices are on the same Wi‑Fi network, the host app is running on your computer, and the app has Local Network permission (iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network). Some guest or corporate networks block device-to-device discovery.
Why does the host app need Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions?
Screen Recording is required to mirror your computer's display to your iOS device. Accessibility is required to move the mouse and type on your computer from your device. Both are used for nothing else, and nothing is ever sent off your network.
Is my connection secure?
Yes. Every connection is encrypted with TLS, and a one-time pairing code shown on your computer is required before a device can connect. See the Privacy Policy.
Does Control Pro work over the internet?
No — by design. Control Pro is local-network only, which keeps latency low and your data private. Nothing is routed through any cloud server.
The mirror feels laggy. How do I improve it?
Use 5 GHz Wi‑Fi (or better, put the computer on Ethernet), keep both devices close to the router, and check the color-coded latency badge in the app. The stream automatically adapts quality and drops stale frames to stay live.
How do I hear my computer's audio?
Audio streams automatically alongside the mirror. Use the speaker button in the mirror toolbar to mute or unmute it.
How does clipboard sync work?
It's optional and off by default. When enabled, clipboard text is shared between your devices over the same encrypted local connection — never through any server.
What do I need to run it?
An iPhone or iPad on the same network as your computer, and the free companion host app installed on the computer you want to control.
