Displays

Control your Mac's displays from your iPhone

Move a window to another display, tile it, and set brightness.

In short

Glasspad's Displays mode shows your Mac's displays on your iPhone the way System Settings draws them, with every window on them. Tap a window to bring it forward, drag it to another display, or touch and hold it to tile, split, enter full screen, minimize or close it. Its settings set brightness, resolution, Night Shift, the main display, mirroring and the arrangement, and a new resolution goes back after 15 seconds unless you keep it.

Glasspad is free and open source (MIT). It works with a Mac on macOS 14 or later or a PC on Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, and an iPhone on iOS 18 or later or an Android phone on Android 10 or later, on the same Wi-Fi.

Displays on an iPhone: two displays drawn as in System Settings, and the list of windows on them
Displays in the app: your displays, and every window on them.

Questions

Can I move a window to another monitor from my iPhone?

Yes. Drag it onto the other display in Displays, or tap a Next Display button in Actions.

Can I change the resolution from my iPhone?

Yes, in the settings in Displays. A new resolution or mirroring goes back after 15 seconds unless you keep it, so a blank screen fixes itself.

Does it work with one display?

Yes. You still get the list of windows, and tiling, brightness, resolution and Night Shift.

What does the Mac need to allow?

Accessibility, in System Settings › Privacy & Security, so Glasspad can move windows. The installer walks you through it.
