Unicorns For Mac

Unicorns is a minimalist Mac OS X application that offers you the possibility to view on your desktop the screen of an iOS device connected to your Mac. The app can then quickly generate a live stream to be shared with others in no time.

To use the application you must first authorize Unicorns to connect with your Twitter account, and then provide an email address. You might need to relaunch Unicorns after your connect the iOS device to your Mac for the app to detect the device's presence.

Unicorns will start showing your iPhone’s or iPad’s screen in its main window, while the “Stream” button placed in the window’s bottom area allows you to generate a live stream that can be shared publicly or privately.

The live stream URL generated by the Unicorns application can be opened in any web browser, which means that anyone that has the link can both view your phone’s screen, and share impressions via the attached chat window.

The built-in chat includes support for text messages and emoticons. Naturally, you also get to respond in the same manner. What’s more, Unicorns is also able to capture the phone’s audio.

Unicorns is an excellent tool to have around if you need to capture screenshots from mobile apps directly on your desktop, or if you want to show others how a certain app is supposed to work.

Since Unicorns comes with a built-in chat window for each live stream, you can receive feedback from your viewers or team members almost instantly.

The application is extremely easy to setup, and the live stream URL should work in most browsers, which makes Unicorns a quite reliable solution.
