Turn your iPad or iPhone and an external monitor or TV into a desktop browsing workstation, even on a non-M iPad, where iPadOS extended display isn't available. The big screen gets a full desktop-class browser. Your iPad or iPhone becomes the trackpad and keyboard: 8 cursor styles, up to 12 persistent tabs, YouTube quality up to 4K, and Netflix and other streaming over a cable. A hardware keyboard works too, and so does a mouse on iPad. Pay once, no subscription. IMPORTANT: REQUIRES AN EXTERNAL MONITOR OR TV. ScreenCommand runs the browser on an external display connected over USB-C (or a USB-C-to-HDMI/DisplayPort adapter) or via AirPlay to an Apple TV, and your iPad or iPhone becomes the trackpad and control center. Without a display connected, the app opens to a "Connect External Monitor" setup screen. There is no standalone on-device browsing mode. ScreenCommand shows websites on the TV; other apps can't run there. STREAMING ON THE BIG SCREEN: Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Paramount+, Peacock and other streaming services play on the TV over a USB-C cable. YouTube, Vimeo, and other web video play over a cable or AirPlay.
