Bezel<\/a> [Web site<\/a>] is one of those simple, easy-to-use apps that feels like it should have been made years ago. The one-line summary of Bezel is that it mirrors your iPhone screen to your Mac. But it actually does much more than that, elevating the app from a basic tool to a fully functioning utility with genuine, everyday use cases.<\/p>\n

In addition to mirroring, Bezel offers many different ways to capture the screen of the mirrored device. You can place the screenshot in the frame of your iPhone and add padding around the frame with any pattern or color you want, or make the padding transparent. All of this together yields unique results, enabling many real-world applications. You can layer your phone’s screen onto other videos, show what you are doing on your screen during a big presentation, take screenshots with a frame for a how-to guide, and much more. Bezel also includes excellent keyboard shortcuts for almost every action within the app, as well as the ability to resize its window to a custom size or even to the device’s actual pixel size.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

I initially remembered that it is already possible to natively mirror an iPhone’s display on a Mac using QuickTime Player[…] Unfortunately, QuickTime Player’s video capture often produces artifacts and has a latency of up to one second. This is far from ideal for screen recording or showcasing the iPhone’s display during a presentation. In contrast, I found Bezel’s video to be smoother and nearly instant.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
