  • Connection to a Wi-Fi network or a USB Lightning cable

Connecting via Wi-Fi

Make sure that both your Mac and iOS devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. You can check your network preferences under Settings on iOS, and on the Network panel in System Preferences on the Mac. Once done, click the Mirror toolbar item in Sketch, and select your device’s name from the list to connect.

Connecting via USB

Connecting to Sketch via a USB Lightning cable couldn’t be simpler. Connect your iOS device to your Mac, and that’s it—you’re connected!

Troubleshooting

Sketch and Sketch Mirror find each other using an Apple service called Bonjour. Some corporate networks are setup to block this service. If you’re connecting via Wi-Fi and are on the same network, you may have to ask your network admin to add a rule to allow _sketchmirror._tcp.local traffic in the network.
