About

SidecarBridge

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, then connect over the same Wi-Fi or a nearby peer-to-peer link. View your desktop and control it with touch, a trackpad, Magic Keyboard, or Apple Pencil. FEATURES β€’ One-time-code pairing with encrypted local sessions and remembered trusted devices β€’ Direct local-network and nearby peer-to-peer connection paths β€’ Adaptive, hardware-encoded Mac screen streaming with quality and frame-rate controls β€’ Touch and trackpad gestures: click, drag, scroll, pinch-to-zoom, and left/right/double click β€’ Standard and special on-screen keyboard controls, with hardware keyboard support β€’ Chinese/English input switching and common modifier/navigation keys β€’ Encrypted file transfer with visible transfer progress and an in-app file area β€’ Recovery after short app switches or network stalls PRIVACY AND REQUIREMENTS Both devices need SidecarBridge. The Mac companion requires Screen Recording permission to stream the display and Accessibility permission for remote input. Sessions stay on your local or nearby link; SidecarBridge does not relay your screen through a cloud server. SidecarBridge mirrors the Mac's main display. It does not create a native extended display and does not bypass Apple's security, code-signing, device-management, or App Store protections.

Cheatly is a fast, offline reference for single-player cheat codes across 84 classic and modern games. Everything ships inside the app. There is no sign-up and no account, and no internet connection is required to read a cheat β€” open it and the entire database is already there, even in airplane mode. The app is free, paid for by ads. BUILT FOR ACTUALLY FINDING A CODE β€’ 3,300+ cheats, organised by game and by category β€’ Search across the whole library by cheat name or by what it does β€’ Filter by game, or by category β€” Player, Weapons, Vehicles, World, Weather, Wanted Level and more β€’ Save any cheat to Favourites for the codes you use constantly CODES SHOWN THE WAY YOUR PLATFORM SHOWS THEM The same cheat is rarely the same input twice. Pick your platform once and every code is rendered correctly for it: β€’ Controller sequences drawn as real button chips, colour-matched to the hardware β€’ PC console commands as clean, copyable text β€’ In-game phone numbers where a game uses them β€’ A clear note when a game simply has no code for your platform Tap to copy any code straight to the clipboard, or have it read aloud when your hands are on the controller. MADE TO BE PLEASANT β€’ A dark interface designed for playing at night, with Light and System themes available β€’ Button sequences light up in order, so you can read a long combo at a glance β€’ Pin the games you play most to the top β€’ The cheat database is fully offline, so searching stays instant anywhere PRIVACY The cheat database never leaves your device, and neither do your favourites or settings. The app is supported by Google AdMob ads; you are asked before anything is used to personalise them, and declining still gives you the whole app. ABOUT Cheatly is an independent, unofficial reference guide.
