Great app
I really wish there were more updates on this. This is such a great app. I did have to reinstall it to get rid of a configuration error, but the website is still available. I would hope that the developer wouldn’t mind coming back even if it was for a few bucks per install
Feel compelled to explain that this does work…!
I almost never write reviews, but I have seen the negative reviews of this app, and feel I must point out that I, too, had real difficulties using this app until I realised that the reason it didn’t work properly for me was not the fault of the app, but a design ‘feature’ from Apple. If you find you are having stuttery/juddery playback, it is almost certainly because of something called AWDL (Apple Wireless Direct Link) which causes WiFi to be very briefly redirected towards the Apple connected device (an iPhone on sidecar or Vision Pro via its custom WiFi connection) once every second. The only way to stop this interfering with smooth ‘streamed’ playback - ie a remote desktop - is to ensure that your 5g WiFi channel is set the same as the AWDL channel for your territory. In the UK (and maybe Europe/Asia) this is 5g Channel 44. In the US this is Channel 149. I had consistently poor stuttery ‘split screen’ until I connected both my mac and my AVP to Channel 44, and immediate the playback was as smooth as I could hope for. I now use this app for work sometimes 8 hours a day and it is more or less perfect. Yes, it has some quirks, and it crashes pretty easily if you are changing settings etc, but once it is setup, it behaves very reliably.

Connect to iPad?
Can we get compatibility with iPads also. Specifically iPad Pro on iPadOS26
SplitScreen Freezes Pointer – No Support Response After Multiple Emails
Bought SplitScreen hoping for a better multitasking experience. Instead, it breaks pointer movement between displays. Specifically:
• When I re-enable “Allow pointer to move between screens” in macOS, the pointer starts freezing or becomes unresponsive.
• Reproducible across systems — even on a brand-new MacBook Pro.
• Happens whether using a standard setup or in Mac Virtual Display mode with Vision Pro.
Emailed support multiple times — zero response. If you rely on dual-screen workflows or use AVP, this app may cause more problems than it solves.
Still waiting on a fix or refund. Until then: Avoid.

Great idea, sadly not there yet.
Everything sets up easily. It runs well, apart from resolution and latency which unfortunately are a dealbreaker. I don’t know if this is a limitation of visionOS or the app itself. Hopefully they can improve it with an update, in which case I will certainly be purchasing!
