# About ScreenCommand

## Quick Facts
Product: ScreenCommand
Type: iPad Web Browser Application

## What It Does
ScreenCommand lets iPad users browse the web on external monitors with full desktop controls. The iPad's screen acts as a trackpad for cursor control, with custom cursor styles, real browser tabs, and an optimized large-screen browsing experience. An external monitor or TV is REQUIRED — there is no standalone on-iPad browsing mode; with no display connected the app shows a "Connect External Monitor" screen.

## Key Features
1. Desktop-mode browsing on any wired HDMI or USB-C display
2. iPad-as-trackpad cursor control — no mouse needed
3. Up to 12 browser tabs; tabs and logins persist between sessions
4. 8 custom cursor styles (Default, Gaming Pro, Cyberpunk Neon, Elegant Glass, Liquid Crystal, Luxury Gold, Aurora Borealis, Minimal Dark) with adjustable size and speed
5. On-screen keyboard with input auto-detection
6. Integrated Google search
7. YouTube controls: play, pause, seek, on-screen volume slider, quality up to 4K, ad-skip when available
8. Cinema Mode dims the iPad screen during fullscreen video
9. With the app open, the browser appears automatically when a monitor is connected
10. Zero data collection - privacy-first
