Lumox

What is Lumox?

Lumox is a wireless screen mirroring app for Mac that lets you mirror a connected iOS device’s screen without running a mirror app on the mobile device. It’s designed for capturing and presenting what’s happening on your phone—such as product flows, tutorials, and bug reproductions—while also organizing outputs like screenshots and videos.

In addition to basic mirroring, Lumox supports common presentation-oriented views (fullscreen and transparent mode), capture workflows (one-click screenshots and video recording), and a built-in Media Library for exporting or sharing results.

Key Features

• Wireless mirroring over Wi‑Fi (no mobile app required): Mirror your iPhone screen to your Mac over Wi‑Fi without needing to install an app on the device.
• Low-latency streaming up to 60 fps: Designed for responsive viewing while you interact with the mirrored device.
• Multi-device mirroring: Connect and mirror multiple devices at the same time, with an “any number of devices” approach, and arrange them in a single view.
• Transparent background and fullscreen mode: Use a transparent window so the device can float over your desktop or presentations, or switch to fullscreen for distraction-free viewing.
• Screenshot capture with export and clipboard support: Take one-click screenshots, copy them to the clipboard automatically, and export in multiple formats including PNG, JPG, and WebP.
• Video recording: Record the mirrored device screen to video files for demos, tutorials, or bug reports, with export formats including WebM, MP4, and MOV.
• Media Library organization: Screenshots and recordings are saved and organized in Lumox’s Media Library, with drag-to-export options.
• Device frames, rotation, and bezel-free mode: Wrap the mirror in device bezels (e.g., iPhone or generic), rotate screenshots for multiple angles, and use bezels-free presentation when needed.

How to Use Lumox

1. Download and install Lumox for Mac from the site, then open the app.
2. Start wireless mirroring over Wi‑Fi by connecting your iPhone to your Mac for mirroring.
3. Use the available viewing modes—transparent background for overlay-style demos or fullscreen when you want a focused presentation.
4. Capture what you need using one-click screenshots or video recording, then review items in the Media Library.
5. Export or share outputs from the Media Library to your preferred formats (for example PNG/JPG/WebP for images and MP4/WebM/MOV for video).

Use Cases

• Create product demos and tutorials: Mirror an iPhone screen in fullscreen or transparent mode, then capture screenshots and recordings for step-by-step content.
• Bug reports and QA reproduction: Use screen recording to produce video evidence of a UI or workflow issue, saving files in the Media Library for later sharing.
• Marketing assets with realistic device previews: Turn on device bezels and use rotation/perspective angles to produce visuals that resemble phone previews.
• Compare multiple devices in one workflow: Connect multiple devices simultaneously to review different device states or test scenarios side-by-side within one view.
• Quick asset generation without extra tooling: Use Lumox’s export options (including common image and video formats) and clipboard copy for fast handoff into other tools.

FAQ

• Is Lumox free to use?
  Lumox is free to use, but the free version includes a watermark and a session time limit. Licensing removes the watermark and time limit.

  Lumox supports mirroring for iOS devices. Android support is currently in development.

• Can I use transparent or fullscreen mirroring?
  Yes. Lumox includes transparent background mode and fullscreen mode.

• Where are my screenshots and recordings saved?
  They are stored in Lumox’s Media Library or in a folder configured in settings.

• What output formats are available?
  Screenshots can be exported as PNG, JPG, and WebP (and screenshots can also be copied to clipboard). Video recordings can be exported as WebM, MP4, and MOV.

Alternatives

• Built-in macOS screen sharing / quick capture workflows: Useful for recording or sharing, but typically not as purpose-built for wireless iOS device mirroring with presentation-oriented modes and a dedicated Media Library.
• Other wireless screen mirroring apps (Mac + iOS): These can provide similar mirroring functionality, but may differ in capture/export options, multi-device support, or whether they require apps on the mobile device.
• Recording-only screen capture tools: If your main goal is video capture rather than mirroring and device-framed previews, recording-focused tools can work, though they may not include the same screenshot/video mirroring workflow or device-specific framing features.
