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.

Nothing else to buy or pair

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.

Zero configuration

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.

Tabs, favorites & logins persist

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.

8 styles, size & speed control

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.

Auto-detects input fields

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.

YouTube controls + Cinema Mode

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.

100% local & private

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

Yes — ScreenCommand is built for iPad + external display setups. Connect any monitor or TV over HDMI or USB-C and it turns that big screen into a desktop browsing experience, with your iPad as the controller.

No. Your iPad’s screen becomes the trackpad: glide your finger on the iPad and the cursor moves on the monitor. There is nothing extra to buy or pair.

Any iPad with a USB-C port running iPadOS 17 or later — iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad mini, and iPad. No M-series chip and no Stage Manager required.

No — ScreenCommand is iPad-only. The trackpad experience is designed around the iPad’s larger screen, so there is no iPhone version. Any USB-C iPad on iPadOS 17 or later works, with no M-series chip required.

Only on M-series iPads (iPad Air M1 and later, iPad Pro 2021 and later) — still true on iPadOS 26, which brings Mac-like windowing to all compatible iPads but keeps extended external display M-series-only. Every other iPad — including the current iPad and iPad mini — can only mirror its own screen to a monitor, black bars and all. ScreenCommand gives exactly those iPads real desktop-class browsing on the big screen, with no extra hardware to pair.

A USB-C to HDMI (or DisplayPort) cable or adapter — or a direct USB-C cable if your monitor supports it. Any HDMI monitor or TV works. Prefer no cables? You can also AirPlay to an Apple TV (wired stays the most responsive).

One-time purchase of $4.99. Own it forever — no subscriptions, no hidden fees, no recurring charges.

100% private. ScreenCommand has zero tracking, analytics, or data collection. Everything happens locally on your device — we never see what you browse.
