Getting started on the Mac

1. Open RectangleMirror. It lives in the menu bar, under the two-rectangles icon.
2. Grant Accessibility and Screen Recording when macOS asks. The Mac App Store version also asks to control System Events, which moves windows on the app's behalf. Without these, snapping or mirroring stays off.
3. Drag any window to the left or right edge of the screen, the top edge, or a corner, and release.
4. Switch on Mirroring at the top of the menu, or press ⌃⌥⌘M. In your meeting app, share the window named RectangleMirror.

Pairing the iPad

1. Install RectangleMirror Remote on the iPad. Both devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi network.
2. Open it and allow Local Network access. Your Mac appears under Macs nearby; tap it.
3. Accept the request on the Mac, then type the four-digit code the Mac shows. The code works once and only for that iPad.

The iPad companion needs the Pro plan or the free trial on the Mac. To remove an iPad, use Forget in Settings › iPad on the Mac.

Common questions

Windows don't snap. Check that System Settings › Privacy & Security › Accessibility lists RectangleMirror and that it is on. Also turn off "Tile by dragging windows to screen edges" in System Settings › Desktop & Dock, so macOS's own tiling doesn't take over the drop.

The mirror window is black or shows a message. Grant Screen Recording in System Settings › Privacy & Security, then switch Mirroring off and on.

I can't see the mirror window. That is by design: it is parked off-screen so nothing is in your way, while meeting apps still list and stream it. Use Show Mirror Window in the menu to look at it, or change the placement in Settings › Mirror.

Which layout will I get? Settings › Displays shows the profile for each monitor and resolution, and lets you change it or create your own.

How do I move between regions quickly? ⌃⌥⌘, and ⌃⌥⌘. step through the regions of every connected display. Hold ⌥ on a region in the menu to make it the one the hotkey starts with.

The iPad doesn't find my Mac. Both must be on the same Wi-Fi network, RectangleMirror must be running on the Mac, and the iPad app needs Local Network access in Settings › Privacy & Security.

I subscribed on another Mac. Open Settings › About and use Restore Purchases.

How do I cancel? Subscriptions are managed by Apple: System Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions, or the Manage Subscription button in Settings › About. Cancelling during the free trial costs nothing.

How do I stop it starting at login? Settings › General › Launch at login.
