Read full description

SidecarBridge turns your iPhone or iPad into a private local viewer and remote-control surface for your Mac. Pair once with the companion Mac app using its temporary 16-digit code or QR code. Reconnect with a saved trusted Mac over your local network or a nearby peer-to-peer link. FEATURES • Encrypted local sessions and remembered trusted devices • Hardware-encoded Mac screen streaming with quality and frame-rate controls • Touch and trackpad gestures for clicking, dragging and scrolling • On-screen controls and physical keyboard support, including Chinese/English input • Picture in Picture viewing where supported • A dedicated Files & transfers tab with connection controls and visible progress • Browse accessible Mac folders, see file/storage information, calculate folder sizes and download selected files or folders • Send files and whole folders to your Mac; folder transfers use ZIP archives PRIVACY AND REQUIREMENTS Both devices need SidecarBridge. The Mac needs Screen Recording permission to share its display and Accessibility/event-posting permission for remote input. File access remains subject to macOS privacy permissions and sandbox grants. Sessions stay local or nearby; no cloud relay or user account is required. SidecarBridge mirrors the Mac's main display, not a native extended display, and does not bypass Apple's security protections. This release focuses on Mac, iPhone and iPad.

About

WiFi Devices Quick

Features
Read full description

WiFi Devices Quick helps you see supported Bonjour service endpoints published on your current local Wi-Fi network. Start a foreground discovery, review the exact service name, type, domain, and observed interface, then mark an endpoint as known or unknown and add a local alias. Compare the current successful result with the previous successful discovery. Features: - User-initiated foreground Bonjour discovery - Fixed, declared set of common local service types - Exact service endpoint identity without guessing physical devices - Known or unknown classification and local aliases - New, continued, and previously observed differences - Clear empty, partial, timeout, permission, and Wi-Fi recovery states - English and Japanese support Important limitations: The app does not list every device on a network. A device appears only when it publishes a supported Bonjour service that the iPhone can observe. Guest networks, client isolation, firewalls, and service configuration may affect results. The app does not determine IP address, vendor, owner, physical-device count, or security status, and it does not scan ports, inspect traffic, or run in the background. No account, usage analytics, advertising, or cloud sync is included. Discovery and saved information are not sent off your device. Crash reports are sent through Firebase Crashlytics to fix bugs, and you can turn this off in Settings.
