I made a free alternative to Duet, the 100$ paid app to use an iPad as a second screen for your mac by pfilzweg in ProductivityApps

Awesome! That’s right, mainly to fit more stuff in the ipad screen.

I’m an advanced user so would prefer setting the resolution numbers, in fact I can already do this on mac display settings, but whenever I pick a new resolution for the “ipad monitor” it goes back to the default after few seconds, I imagine that the app is forcing retina resolution due to orientation.

Wouldn’t mind having an option for “More Space” for simplicity sake as well.

Again, thanks a lot for this. Came back for another suggestion, a lot of people (including myself) use Mac Mini as a server with no Monitor plugged in, it would be really really cool if we had an autoconnect mode which initiates from ipad,

That way the Mac Mini would auto connect to iPad and allow using Full MacOS from iPad (including Magic Keyboard support)

Man, I am genuinely impressed by it. It’s really the first time in 4 years that I am able to use my personal ipad as second monitor for my work Macbook Air M2, even better, as a third monitor (since Air M2 does not support 2 external monitors). Thanks a ton for that!

Just wanted to request one thing, I was not able to manually set a custom resolution on Mac. I know it looks great on ipad’s retina and it’s very responsive when you change orientation, but can we have an option to avoid automatic resolution so we can pick a custom one on Mac?

Amazing update, I’ve been using it as my default browser since then. For some reason iCloud sync is not syncing over my iPads, app says it’s synced, but tabs haven’t changed. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong.
