Mango Mirror

Overview

Mango Mirror turns compatible screens into customizable displays for home, office and business information. It suits people who want calendars, photos, weather or operational content visible on a shared screen rather than confined to individual apps. Its range of display options is a strength, but the useful integrations and screen capacity depend on the plan.

Key features

Layouts and display control

A drag-and-drop editor lets users arrange widgets, build multiple pages and schedule content to change over time. That makes Mango Mirror more useful than a fixed information board when a display needs different content at different times of day. Listed widget categories include health, fitness, nutrition, sleep, weather, photos, calendars, reminders, notes, news, quotes and background photos.

Displays can be managed from app.mangodisplay.com using a phone, laptop or tablet, with changes appearing on screen within seconds. That browser-based control is practical for updating a display remotely without managing it at the screen itself. Supported screens include Samsung and LG displays, Android/Google TV and Fire TV, tablets, Echo Show, Windows PCs, web browsers and Raspberry Pi.

Integrations and business content

Pro connects Google, Outlook, Apple iCal and Cozi calendars, plus ICS feeds, and can combine multiple sources in one view. It also supports Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do and Todoist, along with Apple Photos, Google Photos and Unsplash. This is the most relevant tier for households or home offices that need more than the Free plan's basic clock, news, weather, background images and quotes.

Business adds Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, Microsoft Office files, PDFs, video, website embeds and browser snapshots. It includes one browser snapshot widget per display, refreshed every four hours, as well as priority live chat support and a 99.9% uptime SLA. Enterprise adds Power BI, linked displays, Microsoft 365 group calendars, Microsoft Teams shared calendars and advanced browser snapshots, with 50 hours of monthly browser snapshot refresh time. Those additions target organizations with more involved display and collaboration needs, rather than casual home use.

Security and privacy

Mango Display says it maintains a SOC 2 Type I security attestation, does not share or sell user data, and operates its products in the United States on AWS. Its privacy policy says data is encrypted in transit and backups are encrypted; names and email addresses are encrypted in the database using AWS Key Management Service. Other displayed data is not encrypted while stored in the database, a material consideration for businesses showing sensitive content.

Pricing

Mango Mirror is freemium, with a free plan and a free trial. Each paid plan includes three screens, while the Free plan allows two screen licenses. Screen additions and storage or snapshot allowances vary enough that buyers should compare them against their intended number of displays and content.

• Free: free. It includes two screen licenses, a clock, news, weather, background images, quotes, custom layouts and pages. It is a sensible starting point for a basic display, but it does not include the listed Pro integrations.
• Pro: $5.99 a month, billed $5.99 per month or $59.99 per year. Three screens are included; additional screens cost $2.99/mo, and storage is 250 MB. Its calendar, task and photo integrations make it the home or home-office choice, though the extra-screen charge matters for larger setups.
• Business: $19.99 a month, billed $19.99 per month or $199 per year. Three screens are included; additional screens cost $5.99/mo. It includes 1 GB storage and one browser snapshot widget per display with a four-hour refresh. The SLA and priority live chat are relevant for business displays, but the snapshot allowance is limited to one widget per display.
• Enterprise: $49 a month, billed $49 per month or $499 per year. Three screens are included; additional screens cost $19/mo. It includes 50 hours of monthly browser snapshot refresh time and the Enterprise integrations. The higher per-screen cost is best justified by linked displays, advanced snapshots and organization-wide calendars; organizations with unique needs can request custom pricing.

Mango Display offers live chat, [email protected] and +1 (289) 678-1622 as support channels.

Platforms

Mango Mirror supports Android, iOS, Linux, web and Windows. The maker also identifies compatible display hardware and environments including Samsung, LG, Android/Google TV, Fire TV, iPad, Android/Fire tablets, Echo Show, Windows PC, web browsers and Raspberry Pi. This breadth suits mixed-device households and organizations, although it does not include macOS as a named platform.

Who it's for

Choose Mango Mirror if you want one configurable display for calendars, weather, photos or business content, especially when browser-based updates and scheduled pages matter. Free fits a basic two-screen setup; Pro is the strongest fit for a home or home office relying on multiple calendar, task or photo services. Business is aimed at small and medium businesses that need office files, snapshots and a stated uptime SLA. Enterprise is for organizations that need linked displays, Power BI or shared Microsoft calendars. It is a weaker fit if stored-data encryption for all displayed content is essential, or if you want desktop-widget software specifically for macOS.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Multiple calendar sources can appear in one view, reducing the need to choose a single calendar service for a shared screen.
• Pro: Browser control and scheduled pages support remote updates and time-based display changes.
• Pro: The free plan covers two screens and several basic content types, making it possible to start without a paid subscription.
• Con: Paid plans include only three screens, and additional screen fees rise from $2.99/mo on Pro to $19/mo on Enterprise.
• Con: The Business snapshot widget refreshes only every four hours, limiting its fit for content that needs frequent updates.
• Con: Other displayed data is not encrypted at rest in the database, which may rule it out for sensitive dashboards.

Verdict

Mango Mirror is a strong choice for homes and businesses that want a shared screen combining multiple information sources, with browser control and plans scaled to more demanding integrations. Its key advantage is the range from basic free displays to business and enterprise content; its main cautions are rising per-screen costs and the lack of at-rest database encryption for most displayed data. Choose it when the integrations and display workflow fit, and look elsewhere if those security or cost limits outweigh them.
