Run your Mac from a tablet.

Use your Mac mini, Studio or MacBook from your tablet — screen, touchpad, keyboard and touch are all yours. From your desk, from the couch, even from another room; without carrying a separate monitor, mouse or keyboard.

🖥️Close to wired smoothnessIt runs smoothly over Wi-Fi; put the Mac on Ethernet and the picture gets close to wired smoothness — not just a static screen.

🖱️Touchpad, keyboard + touchPointer and scrolling land one-to-one (measurement-based) and trackpad gestures are continuous — Space switching and Mission Control follow your fingers. Keys from an external or folio keyboard map one-to-one, the on-screen keyboard draws your Mac’s active layout, plus touch straight on the screen.

🌍From away, tooReach the Mac at the office from home, or the one at home from the road. Traffic flows straight between your devices through your own Tailscale account’s end-to-end encrypted tunnel; you add the tablet once while you are at home. Details: how remote access works.

🌙Even while lockedThe stream keeps running while your Mac is locked or its lid is closed; wake it from the tablet and pick up where you left off.

🔊Audio on the tablet tooYour Mac’s sound comes out of the tablet speakers — each tablet becomes its own output device in macOS, and you can set the level from the tablet.

🧩Nothing to configurePut the Mac on the network, open the app on the tablet — it connects. Ideal for a Mac mini / Studio with no monitor.

How it works

Put the Mac on the network. Ethernet is recommended for the smoothest result (a desktop Mac is usually wired already) — but it is not required, Wi-Fi works too.
Open the app on the tablet. With the tablet on the same Wi-Fi network, it finds the Mac and connects.
Screen and control are yours. The Mac screen arrives on the tablet; you drive the Mac with the touchpad, the keyboard, or by touching the screen.
Heading out? Turn on remote access: add the tablet once with your own Tailscale account, and from then on it connects the same way from another network.

A note on performance: For the smoothest result, put the Mac on Ethernet and both sides on a Wi-Fi 6 network. On Wi-Fi 5, dense motion can show small hitches by the nature of the link. We do not present Wi-Fi as the equal of a cable — the result follows your Mac’s network connection and the capacity of your tablet’s hardware video decoder. When you connect from away, smoothness follows the internet connection in between.
