Fact sheet

  • Name — ScreenCommand, by Simple Products Studio (Simple Products Labs LLC).
  • What it is — an iPad app that puts a desktop-class browser on an external monitor or TV, while the iPad becomes the trackpad and keyboard.
  • Price$4.99 one-time. No subscription, no in-app purchases.
  • Availability coming soon to the App Store for iPad.
  • Platform — iPad-only. There is no iPhone or Mac version.
  • Requirements — a USB-C iPad running iPadOS 17 or later. It works even on a non-M iPad.
  • Connection — wired USB-C or USB-C-to-HDMI/DisplayPort (recommended — lowest cursor latency), or AirPlay to an Apple TV, which works with slightly more cursor lag.
  • Display— the browser fills the external screen edge to edge because it adapts to your display's native resolution; no black bars, no scaled-up touch layout.
  • Tabs — 12 persistent tabs; tabs and site logins are still there the next time you connect.
  • Cursor — 8 customizable cursor styles: Default, Gaming Pro, Cyberpunk Neon, Elegant Glass, Liquid Crystal, Luxury Gold, Aurora Borealis, and Minimal Dark, with adjustable size and speed.
  • YouTube — seek, YouTube quality up to 4K (2160p), and Cinema Mode, which dims the iPad during fullscreen video — plus a one-tap skip for skippable video ads.
  • Privacy — zero data collection, zero tracking, no account to create. Full details in the Privacy Policy.

Where it fits

Verified July 2026 · iPadOS 26

Apple's own answer to external displays, Stage Manager, requires an M-series iPad for its extended-display mode — and that is still true on iPadOS 26, which brings Mac-like windowing to all compatible iPads but keeps the extended external display M-series-only. Every other iPad simply mirrors its own screen, black bars included.

ScreenCommand's browser works even on a non-M iPad. To be clear about where we draw the line: M-series owners who need multi-window native apps on the monitor should just use free Stage Manager. ScreenCommand is for browsing — and for the iPads Stage Manager leaves out.

The honest limitations

We'd rather you print these than have a reader discover them. Please include whichever are relevant to your story:

No DRM streaming

Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Prime Video don't play — iPadOS blocks DRM-protected video on browser-rendered external displays. ScreenCommand shows a clear protected-content notice instead of a silent black screen. YouTube, Vimeo, and other non-DRM video play in full.

Single browser view

One browser view on the monitor, not multiple windows. You can keep up to 12 tabs open and switch between them, but you can't tile windows side by side.

iPad-only

ScreenCommand is built for the iPad. There is no iPhone or Mac version.

Boilerplate

Quote either of these verbatim, or adapt freely — just keep the facts intact.

One-liner

ScreenCommand ($4.99, one-time) turns an external monitor or TV into a desktop-class browser, with the iPad as the trackpad and keyboard — even on a non-M iPad.

Full boilerplate

ScreenCommand is made by Simple Products Studio (Simple Products Labs LLC). The app puts a desktop-class browser on an external monitor or TV while the iPad becomes the trackpad and keyboard. It works even on a non-M iPad — any USB-C iPad running iPadOS 17 or later — over a wired USB-C connection (recommended for the lowest cursor latency) or AirPlay to an Apple TV. It keeps 12 tabs and their logins between sessions, offers 8 customizable cursor styles, and plays YouTube with quality up to 4K. ScreenCommand is $4.99 one-time with no subscription and collects zero data.
