Anyone knows any application that will allow me to share my OS X Lion screen with an iPhone? I don't care to have it over the Internet, WiFi is sufficient.


I've been using Remoter VNC for a while now and I'm quite happy with the result. Their website covers most of it's features, so I suggest you take a look and find out yourself if it fits your needs.

The title of the question says iOS, so here's an iPad solution.

I use DisplayPad (currently $2.99 USD). It's great because it's got close to zero configuration parameters: it just works. My Mac treats the iPad like a second monitor.

It doesn't work on the iPhone as far as I'm aware.


I recommend the free app VNC Viewer by RealVNC, available on iOS, OS X, and Windows. The app is barebones and the icon looks from the 80s but it works perfectly, simply, fast, and, it's free.

I don't recommend TeamViewer, it requires you to run another piece of software at all times on the sharing computer, and can cause heavy resource usage on that computer, in addition to causing other major bugs (it did for me anyway). The only good thing about it is that it can share audio, which VNC does not do.

Just open the app, create a new profile, and put in your mac's IP address. (Also, you must enable screen sharing in the mac system preferences/sharing if it's not already.)

You can also access remotely if you forward the VNC port (5900) to your mac in router, and signup for a dynamic dns service (free to set up with some routers), this can be very useful sometimes.
