System requirements
Hardware and software requirements for running Lumox on macOS.
macOS
- Operating system: macOS 13 (Ventura) or later recommended
- Architecture: Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) — current releases are built for arm64
- Disk space: ~400 MB for the app; additional space for screenshots and recordings in the Media Library
Mobile devices
- iPhone / iPad: Any device that supports AirPlay screen mirroring to a Mac on the same Wi‑Fi network
- Android: Cast-compatible devices (Google Cast) where supported
- No app on phone: Lumox receives the stream on your Mac — you do not install anything on the mobile device
Network
- iPhone, iPad, and Mac on the same Wi‑Fi network (or compatible subnet)
- Local Network permission enabled for Lumox in System Settings (required for AirPlay discovery)
- Corporate or guest networks that block device-to-device traffic may prevent mirroring — try a personal hotspot or home network if connection fails
Recommended for best quality
- Stable Wi‑Fi (5 GHz preferred for lower latency)
- Mac with Apple Silicon for smooth mirroring up to 60 fps and 4K where the source device supports it
Note: Windows and Linux builds are planned. The download page lists current platform availability.
