24 alternatives to Bezel, my macOS app to mirror an iPhone onto your Mac
Every product demo with an iOS app, I wanted a better way to present my iPhone to the audience. I used QuickTime a lot over the years, but it’s such a hassle to setup. It also looks confusing to non-techies, being just a square. My friend Tom and I finally took the time to create a better alternative. Our Mac app Bezel mirrors your iPhone as soon as you plug it in. (Once the device is trusted.) If it isn’t trusted yet, the app helps you pair the iPhone and Mac. It also shows a highly accurate bezel of the connected device. It’s ready for more people to give it a try now, so we’re putting it…

LookAway 2▲281Hello, I'm Kushagra and I am the indie developer behind LookAway (I've posted about it earlier but it has received quite a lot of updates since the last time so I am posting it again). LookAway is a native break reminder for macOS that doesn't interrupt. I built it because I work from home and I spend a lot of time in front of my screens.

It works very well for situations where you want to keep track of time, but don't need to be super precise. The menu bar is easy to glance up at, and it doesn't take long to happen…
