What LonelyScreen is
LonelyScreen is an AirPlay receiver for sending an iPhone or iPad display to a computer. It supports screen mirroring and casting movies or music, and runs on macOS and Windows. The maker says no app needs to be installed on the iPhone or iPad. The receiver is named LonelyScreen by default, with an option to change the name in the app window. Users can capture and save iPhone gameplay or app demonstrations, then upload them to YouTube or Vimeo with one click. The computer and iOS device need to share a LAN, and Windows Firewall must allow LonelyScreen. The setup guide lists support for iPhone 4S or newer, iPad 2 or newer, iPad mini or newer, and iPod Touch 5 or newer. A free trial is available, but there is no free plan. Home and Business Use Licenses each cost $19.95 a year for one PC. The license allows personal, non-commercial use on two computers; network or multi-user use requires at least a multi-user license.
