What is Tab Display?

Tab Display is a cross-platform second-screen, screen-sharing, and remote video player for Mac and Windows. Use an Android device, iPhone, or iPad as a portable extra display. The desktop app sends a virtual display or supported app window and can receive sessions from another Tab Display sender.

Use it for documents, chat, reference material, meetings, monitoring, presentations, browser previews, or videos stored on your computer. Supported wireless workflows can connect multiple display clients.

FEATURES

  • Extended Display: Use a mobile device as an additional display.
  • Window Mirror: Send a selected app window on supported macOS connections; it is not available on Windows.
  • Remote Video Player: Play videos from a designated folder on your computer.
  • Screen/Desktop Sharing: Share a desktop display with a connected device over a supported network or wired setup.
  • Multiple monitors, portrait/landscape orientation, resolution settings, and touch or stylus input where supported.
  • WebRTC streaming, no account registration, and local-network or wired use without public internet access.
  • Free with ads; a one-time in-app purchase removes ads.

PLATFORM SUPPORT

Supported features and connection methods depend on the device combination.

  • Mac + Android: Wi-Fi supports Extended Display, Window Mirror, and Remote Video Player. USB Tethering is not supported. USB Direct supports Extended Display and Window Mirror only; use a data-capable cable and Mac Tab Display 0.0.44 or later. No Wi-Fi pairing or code is required, and Remote Video Player is not available through USB Direct.
  • Mac + iPhone/iPad: Wi-Fi and supported USB Tethering support Extended Display, Window Mirror, and Remote Video Player.
  • Windows + Android: Wi-Fi and supported USB Tethering support Extended Display and Remote Video Player. Window Mirror and USB Direct are not available.
  • Windows + iPhone/iPad: Wi-Fi and supported USB Tethering support Extended Display and Remote Video Player. Window Mirror is not available.

CONNECTION METHODS

Wi-Fi uses the same local network and the code shown in the desktop app. USB Tethering uses a cable-created local network. USB Direct is available on supported Mac + Android setups with a data-capable cable and does not require Wi-Fi pairing or a connection code.

The desktop app is required for Mac and Windows. Screen Recording permission is required on macOS when sending the Mac screen. Quality depends on the network, device, cable, and connection method; Tab Display is intended for secondary-screen and remote-video workflows rather than latency-critical gaming or drawing.

Local-network and supported wired sessions do not require public internet access, but a working local network or cable is still required.
