About

Your iPhone is already a powerful computer. PocketPC gives it a desktop. Connect a TV, a monitor or AR/XR display glasses and a full windowed desktop appears on the big screen, with a menu bar, a Dock, resizable windows and five workspaces. Your iPhone becomes the trackpad and keyboard. No laptop required. A REAL DESKTOP • Resizable, snappable windows that open and close with smooth animations • A menu bar, a Dock with running apps, an app grid and five workspaces • Keyboard shortcuts, full-screen apps and a window overview • Crisp text at your display's full resolution, from 720p glasses to 4K TVs DESKTOP WEB BROWSING • Desktop browsing with tabs, find on page and downloads. PocketPC requests desktop versions; individual sites control their layouts • A start page with your saved bookmarks • Fill saved sign-ins with iOS Passwords • Turn any website into its own app with a Dock icon and window • Full-screen video on your connected display MADE FOR AR / XR DISPLAY GLASSES • Smart Glasses mode turns your glasses into a see-through heads-up display • Live Translation: read captions and translations in a thread that follows the conversation. Download supported languages ahead of time to translate offline. Timing varies with your iPhone, language and audio quality • AI Notes: live captions and topics during a meeting, then a transcript and summary saved in Files, with an optional shortcut to save to Apple Notes • Walking Directions: turn-by-turn directions in your view, so you're not staring at your phone YOUR IPHONE IS THE TRACKPAD AND KEYBOARD • One finger moves the pointer, tap to click, two fingers scroll • Two-finger click for copy, paste and more • Type with the iPhone keyboard or a compatible wired or Bluetooth keyboard • Use a compatible wired or Bluetooth mouse with iOS AssistiveTouch. Enable it in Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch; device and adapter compatibility varies BUILT-IN APPS • Files: browse, import, organize and preview your files • Terminal: SSH into your Mac or server from anywhere • Settings: pointer speed, scrolling and your web apps • Sound: send audio to AirPods or the display and set the volume from your iPhone CONNECT ANY WAY YOU LIKE • USB-C display glasses, monitors and TVs, by cable or adapter • AirPlay Screen Mirroring to an Apple TV, AirPlay TV or Mac PRIVATE BY DESIGN No PocketPC account is required. Speech is transcribed and translated on your iPhone. Diagnostics stay on your device unless you choose to copy or share them. Websites and their icon providers receive the network requests needed to load their content. GOOD TO KNOW • Glasses must accept video over USB-C (DisplayPort). Glasses with only a camera or speakers and no display aren't supported. • A cable connection needs an iPhone with USB-C, or a compatible video adapter. • The workspace runs websites and PocketPC's built-in tools; it does not run Mac apps or other installed iPhone apps. • AI Notes summaries need an iPhone with Apple Intelligence; other iPhones still get the full transcript. One-time purchase. No subscriptions.

You are so close!

Man, I think I have tried just about every app from the store that wants to bring the desktop experience. This one by far is the closest, but a few things will need to happen for me to really use this.

1. When I say desktop, I mean monitor, wired keyboard, and wired mouse. A usb c hub is all you need to connect all peripherals. Right now the wired mouse is unusable since I cannot scroll the webpages. Need a way to disable the mouse pad on iPhone and use the fully supported wired mouse instead.

2. Keyboard support, when typing from the wired keyboard the phone pops up with the display keyboard, preventing you from typing in a website. Need an option to disable the display keyboard. So far the keys all work but becomes cumbersome having to hide the display keyboard to continue typing.

3. All the similar apps feel like my phone is about to melt. This one does not do that! I played some video on Rumble and it all seemed to work well. Phone did not get overly hot.

4. The browser, would like to see an option to request desktop site rather than mobile site. YouTube when clicked opens the YouTube app but when selected with open a new tab it seemed to play nice and keep in browser.

All in all great work and great concept. Will look forward to future updates and hopeful wait for the wired mouse/ keyboard fix.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review and for supporting PocketPC! It means a lot to hear that we’re getting close to the desktop experience you’re looking for, and we’re glad to hear your phone stayed cool during your testing. We’ve been working on improvements to the keyboard and mouse experience, and an update is currently with Apple for review. Mouse support in our testing uses AssistiveTouch. We also appreciate your feedback on desktop sites and keeping YouTube in the browser, and we’ll keep it in mind as we continue improving PocketPC. Thank you again for taking the time to share such detailed feedback and for giving PocketPC a try!
