Bezel

What is Bezel?

Bezel is a native macOS application developed by Nonstrict that provides a seamless and high-quality solution for mirroring Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Vision Pro) onto a Mac. It is designed for a wide range of users including product managers, developers, designers, educators, and presenters who need to showcase, test, or record their device's screen. Bezel's core value proposition lies in its ease of use—requiring only a simple plug-in—and its ability to deliver instant, perfect mirroring, high-quality recordings, and distraction-free full-screen presentations, making it a superior alternative to built-in macOS tools like QuickTime for device mirroring.

How to use Bezel

To use Bezel, users simply plug in their iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or connect wirelessly for Apple TV. The application instantly mirrors the device's screen onto the Mac. Users can then record the screen, take high-resolution screenshots, or present the device in full-screen mode without distractions. Bezel offers features like auto-rotation, device sleep/lock detection, and the ability to resize the mirror. While a "Try it" option is available, the platform is a paid application, with "Pro" features indicating a premium tier or one-time purchase for advanced capabilities such as audio mirroring, Vision Pro support, custom bezel colors, and watermark removal.
