AnotherDisplay turns an iPad into a second display for a Mac. It is designed so that nothing about you leaves your own devices.
Last updated: 1 November 2026
What the app collects
Nothing. AnotherDisplay has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no crash-reporting service and no third-party SDKs. We do not operate a server for the app and we do not receive information from it.
What the app does with your data
All processing happens on your Mac and your iPad or iPhone:
- Screen content is captured on the Mac, encoded, and sent directly to the device over the USB cable or your local network. It is never sent to us or to a third party.
- Touch input from the device is sent back to the Mac over the same connection and is used only to move the pointer, click, drag and scroll.
- Connection details (the device's address on your local network) are kept in the Mac app's preferences so it can reconnect. They stay on your Mac.
The Mac app keeps a local log file at ~/Library/Logs/AnotherDisplay.log for troubleshooting. It contains connection events and frame statistics, never screen content.
Permissions the app asks for
| Permission | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
| Screen Recording (Mac) | to capture the display it sends to the device |
| Accessibility (Mac) | to move the pointer and send clicks, drags and scrolls from the device |
| Local Network (iOS 14+) | to advertise the device over Bonjour and accept the Mac's connection |
All are granted by you in Settings and can be revoked at any time.
Network connections
The app connects only to your own device, either over USB through the system device connection or over your local network to the device's address. It does not contact an internet service. There is no telemetry endpoint.
