On your iPad, head to usetrmnl.com/mirror and provide your device's API Key.

This will mirror whatever is currently displaying on your native or BYOD TRMNL. It will also wake refresh to the next screen based on your Playlist preferences.

Pro tips

  1. use Safari (iOS) to set up, then tap Share > Add to Home Screen to make it accessible as an app icon. Not only is this easier to access, you will also benefit from a full bleed image instead of a web browser bar

  2. disable your iPad's default "sleep" settings so the utility can switch screens without interaction

  3. to switch devices, just tap the image to return to the Device API Key input form

  4. this may be available with some BYOS clients, just input your Custom Server URL to find out ;)

To provide feedback on the Mirror utility, start a live chat or email team@usetrmnl.com.
