In their own words
Mango Mirror
Mango Mirror turns screens into live displays for calendars, weather, photos, news, tasks, menus, and business dashboards. A drag-and-drop editor arranges widgets; users can make multiple pages and schedule content changes by time. Displays can be managed in a browser on a phone, laptop, or tablet, with changes appearing on screen within seconds. Free includes two screen licenses, custom layouts and pages, clock, news, weather, background images, and quotes. Pro supports calendar sources including Google, Outlook, Apple iCal, Cozi, and ICS, plus task and photo services. Business adds office files, PDFs, video, website embeds, and browser snapshots. Enterprise adds Power BI, linked displays, Microsoft 365 group calendars, Teams shared calendars, and advanced snapshots. Supported screens include Samsung and LG TVs, Android/Google TV, Fire TV, tablets, Echo Show, Windows PCs, browsers, and Raspberry Pi. Pro costs $5.99 a month, Business $19.99 a month, and Enterprise $49 a month; each includes three screens. Business includes priority live chat and a 99.9% uptime SLA.
Nexus
Nexus combines PC hardware monitoring, fan and pump control, and RGB lighting in one free app. It shows live CPU, GPU, memory, network, disk, fan, and temperature readings, with per-game FPS history on Windows. Its GPU-rendered lighting engine offers screen sync, audio sync, and Game Sync. Users can set fan and pump curves from any system temperature sensor or leave selected devices on BIOS or firmware settings. Nexus uses its own device drivers and a bundled OpenRGB build; hardware support depends on the exact model. A phone browser can act as a remote panel, using an encrypted relay outside the home network and switching to a direct connection when possible. The app works locally and offline without an account, while optional anonymous telemetry can be controlled in settings. Nexus runs on 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, Apple Silicon Macs, and x86-64 Linux. It has no builds for Windows on ARM, Intel Macs, or ARM Linux. Companion iOS and Android apps are not yet in the app stores.
