About

Reflector 2 is a macOS application described as a wireless screen-mirroring application. This Homebrew cask installs the Reflector 2.app application in /Applications; it does not install the newer Reflector product advertised on the homepage.

  • Provides wireless screen mirroring.
  • Installs as a graphical macOS application.
  • Requires Rosetta, as noted by the cask.

To install, run brew install --cask reflector@2. After installation, open Reflector 2 from the Applications folder. The supplied information does not detail supported sending devices, connection protocols, or additional features for this specific version.

Install without Homebrew

Uninstall command
$ brew uninstall --cask \reflector@2

A regular uninstall removes the app and keeps its settings and caches.

Deep clean (optional)
$ brew uninstall --zap --cask \reflector@2

--zap also deletes the settings, caches and other files listed in the Homebrew definition. They can include data shared with other apps and cannot be restored, and it does not guarantee that nothing is left.See which files are removed

Questions

Is Reflector safe?

Reflector is in Homebrew’s official catalog and has not been disabled. Since September 2026, Homebrew disables apps that fail macOS Gatekeeper checks. When installing, Homebrew checks the download from download.airsquirrels.com against its SHA-256 checksum.

How do I completely uninstall Reflector on a Mac?

Run brew uninstall --cask reflector@2. To delete its settings and caches as well, run brew uninstall --zap --cask reflector@2. That also deletes 3 files and folders, including ~/Library/Preferences/com.squirrels.Reflector-2.plist.

Does Reflector run on Apple silicon (M1 and later) Macs?

It installs, but on Apple silicon Macs it runs through Rosetta 2.

Where does Reflector store its settings and data?

Its settings are in ~/Library/Preferences/com.squirrels.Reflector-2.plist. These locations come from Homebrew’s clean-up list.

What is the latest version of Reflector?

The latest version is 2.7.3, added to Homebrew on May 1, 2024. Run brew upgrade --cask reflector@2 to update it.
