Komfy

Casting videos from your phone to a bigger display is something quite common nowadays: AirPlay and Miracast are well-known for this reason, and are quite important to some people. Screen mirroring usually concerns casting media to one's television, but what if you wanted to cast something on your computer's display?

You could forgo casting altogether, and play your media directly on your computer, but that's a non-answer. Komfy is a new initiative that seeks to meet this demand by allowing users to effortlessly mirror videos from their phone to their computer, all for free.

Casting something from a device to another shouldn't involve complicated operations that take too much of your time, and this solution knows it. The steps to getting everything up and running are few, and it doesn't take long for one to start casting their favorite content: download the app on your PC and mobile phone, and make sure both devices are connected to the same network. You can then insert the link to a video on your phone, and the computer app should start playing it right away.

There are no settings to modify, so the experience is as straightforward as it can possibly be. This makes the program very accessible to anyone, and we haven't really encountered any screen mirroring problems.

To cast a video to the computer, you'll need to insert its link in the mobile app. Mainstream platforms, such as YouTube, Dailymotion, and Vimeo are supported, so videos will play without a fuss. Casting Twitch streams is also possible, and the experience is just as straightforward.

However, it's worth mentioning that casting content from some websites simply does not work. If you wish to share clips from Reddit, for instance, the app cannot resolve the casting, leading to an infinite loading loop. Nevertheless, the content from the supported platforms should be enough to tide you over to this solution.

Komfy does indeed live up to its name: it's quick, easy, and worry-free screen mirroring, so if you're on the lookout for that, give it a try.
