QiuDisplayTurn your iPad into a real Mac display.
A true extended desktop over Wi-Fi or USB — Retina quality, touch control, several iPads at once. Even iPad Air 2 still works.
Free Mac app · Apple silicon · macOS 15 or later · Version 1.0.0
Everything a second display should be.
Not mirroring. QiuDisplay adds a real display to your Mac, and your iPad shows it.
Real extended display
Your Mac gets a new display you can arrange in System Settings. Drag windows onto it, just like an external monitor.
Wi-Fi + USB
Connect wirelessly on the same network, or plug in a cable for a steadier, lower-latency link. Plug in or unplug and it switches without dropping the display.
Retina quality
Rendered at 2x HiDPI and streamed at your iPad's native resolution. When the picture is still, it is refined to a near-lossless frame so text stays sharp.
Touch your Mac
Tap to click, drag to move, press and hold to right-click, two-finger scroll, and three-finger swipe to switch Spaces.
Multiple displays
Connect several iPads to one Mac. Each one becomes its own display with its own settings.
Audio
Play your Mac's sound on the iPad, on the Mac, or on both.
Old iPads welcome
Works on iPadOS 15 or later — including iPad Air 2.
Tune it the way you work.
Change settings from the iPad (two-finger tap) or from the Mac menu bar. Both stay in sync.

Your old iPad still has a job.
QiuDisplay runs on iPadOS 15 or later, so iPads from 2014 onwards can become a Mac display again.
iPad Air 2 · iPad mini 4
Both run iPadOS 15 and work with QiuDisplay. Decoding is tuned for their A8 chips.
Every newer iPad
iPad (5th generation) and later, iPad Air, iPad mini and every iPad Pro that runs iPadOS 15 or later.
Made for older hardware
On older iPads 60 FPS lowers motion resolution automatically, and still images are still refined at native resolution.
Old iPhones — coming soon
An iPhone version for iOS 15 or later, including older iPhones such as iPhone 6s and iPhone SE (1st generation), is on the way.
No account. No ads. No tracking.
Your screen stays between your Mac and iPad. Picture, sound and touches travel directly over your local network or USB cable — never through our servers.
