SidecarBridge vs ShineBoard

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.
