CastMyMacAn AirParrot alternative for Chromecast and Google TV
AirParrot is a classic for sending a Mac to a TV. If you use a Chromecast or a Google TV, here is what CastMyMac does differently.
In short
- Several screens on one TV: 2 side by side or 4 in a grid, each a real display for macOS.
- Live: about 0.2 s delay, up to 60 fps, tuned live to your Wi-Fi.
- Sound without a driver to install, controlled by your Mac’s volume keys.
- Readable from afar: larger text and pointer, adjustable while casting.
- One-time 19 €, no account, no subscription.
And the “Mirror for Chromecast” apps?
Their listings often mention several seconds of delay, a few-minute trial then a subscription, and a separate audio driver. CastMyMac aims for the opposite: responsive, simple, paid once.
AirParrot remains a fine choice for Apple TV and Windows. CastMyMac focuses on the Mac and Google Cast.
