1. AirScreen
AirScreen is one of the most popular apps tomirror both Android and iOS screens to the Firestick. The one-time setup is really simple, get the app from the Amazon Store (link below). Open the app and run the server on the FireStick and you should see the option pop up on your Mac. Unlike streaming from an iPhone, you’re able to use your Firestick as a second monitor to play some videos while you work on your computer.

2. AirPin Pro
Just like AirScreen, AirPin Pro also lets you share the screen over AirPlay. It creates and runs the AirPlay receiver in the background so you don’t have to turn ON the server every time you boot your FireStick. It is great to mirror your computer screen or use your Firestick as an extended display. However, you’re able to just play some music without mirroring the display. The app is paid and would cost you $4.99 but you can try the free version to see if the app works for you.

3. Mirror for Fire TV
AirPlay is not the only way to mirror your Mac screen to the Firestick. Mirror for Fire TV is another mirroring app which lets you cast your screen to the TV effortlessly. You just install the receiver app on the Firestick via the following link and install another app on the Mac. It automatically detects your Firestick on the same network and seamlessly streams the footage. Unlike AirScreen and AirPin Pro, you can drop the video files from your Mac and play it on the Firestick without much lag. However, it comes with a price tag of $9.99 and you can try it for three minutes before purchasing the paid version.

4. Splashtop
If you’re serious about mirroring your computer to your TV then maybe try Splashtop. It is a popular remote mirroring app which you may use to cast your screen to the TV. It is more than just a mirroring app and you can even control the mac from your TV but you would need to connect a keyboard and a mouse using a splitter cable. Nevertheless, Splashtop is a legitimate option to mirror your Mac Screen to the Fire TV Stick. The only caveat with this app is that you can’t install it natively. However, you can get it from Aptoide TV.
TeamViewer-Alternatively, you’re able to use TeamViewer client to remotely log in to your Mac from your Firestick. It works just like Splashtop and lets you see the Mac screen and lets you control everything on it. You can get it on Aptoide TV app.
