Plugged Your iPad Into a Monitor Lately?
Mobile websites look terrible stretched across a 27″ monitor
No cursor on the big screen — you’re stuck tapping the iPad
Safari just mirrors your iPad, black bars and all
Second-screen apps want subscriptions — and a whole PC to connect to
Buying a laptop just to browse feels ridiculous
ScreenCommand Fixes All of It
A browser built specifically for iPad + external display. Full desktop webpages, a real cursor you control from your iPad, and nothing to configure.
Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't
Designed specifically for iPad + external display browsing
Your iPad Becomes the Trackpad
No mouse to buy, no extra hardware. Glide your finger on the iPad and the cursor moves on the big screen — tap to click, two-finger tap to right-click, two-finger scroll with real momentum.
Plug In and Start Browsing
Open ScreenCommand, connect a cable — or AirPlay to an Apple TV — and the browser fills the big screen by itself. No pairing, no accounts, no setup screens — ready in under a minute.
Real Tabs, and Favorites That Stick
Open up to 12 tabs and hop between them right from the big screen. Star any page to save it to Favorites, tuck your favorites into folders, and reopen one in a fresh window with a single tap. Tabs, favorites, and logins all survive restarts — tomorrow it picks up exactly where you left off.
Make the Cursor Yours
Eight cursor styles — from Elegant Glass and Liquid Crystal to Cyberpunk Neon and Luxury Gold — with adjustable size and speed. Big screens deserve a pointer with personality.
Smart Keyboard, Right on Cue
Tap any input field on the big screen and the keyboard appears on your iPad — with built-in Google search for lightning-fast browsing.
Made for Movie Nights
Play, pause, and seek from your iPad, skip skippable video ads with one tap, and pick YouTube quality up to 4K. Cinema Mode dims the iPad screen so nothing glows next to your movie.
Private by Design
Zero data collection, zero tracking, no account to create. Your browsing stays on your iPad — we couldn’t see it even if we wanted to.
You Already Own Everything You Need
No extra hardware to buy — if you have an iPad and a screen, you're set
A USB-C iPad on iPadOS 17+
iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad mini or iPad — no M-series chip or Stage Manager required
Any monitor or TV
Desk monitor, living-room TV, or ultrawide — if you can plug into it, it works
A cable — or an Apple TV
USB-C to HDMI or DisplayPort, a direct USB-C cable, or AirPlay to an Apple TV
One minute of your time
Plug in and the browser opens by itself — nothing to configure
