Your desktop. A different point of view.
Big things. Small screen.
Keep working in your Mac’s apps. PocketDesk brings the screen and controls to the device in your hand.

The whole screen. Or just one window.
See your desktop, or focus on a running window. Window mode adapts its proportions to your device and restores the window when the session ends.
- 02
Touch, meet pointer.
Use trackpad-style control or direct touch to click, drag and scroll. Bring up the keyboard and familiar Mac shortcuts when you need them.
- 03
Write here. Send there.
Compose text on your phone, then send it to the Mac. Plain-text clipboard sync helps move words between the two devices.

One Mac. Your mobile device.
Start with a local connection.
Set up your Mac
Install PocketDesk Host, allow Screen Recording and Accessibility, then start sharing.
Pair your device
On the same local network, find your Mac in PocketDesk and scan its QR code or enter its pairing key.
Make yourself at home
Choose the display or a window. Your apps and your work stay on the Mac.
Your Mac needs to be awake, unlocked and running the host. PocketDesk does not remotely power on, wake or unlock it.
At home. And beyond.
Same network. No subscription.
Local connections are free, with no PocketDesk account required.
PocketDesk Anywhere
An optional subscription for access from another network is planned for the first release. Public-network service and App Store subscriptions are still being prepared.
