ScreenBridge streams your Mac's screen to your Android tablet or phone over Wi-Fi or USB and turns your finger into a mouse. No cloud, no account, no third-party software.
macOS 13+ · Apple Silicon & Intel · Free — Android 8+, direct APK
Your Mac's screen streams to the tablet — every tap you make there streams straight back as a click.
No pairing accounts, no setup wizard — four steps and you're extended.
A menu-bar icon appears — no Dock icon clutter — and it starts listening on your local network.
Enter your Mac's Wi-Fi IP (or connect via USB) and the 6-digit pairing code shown in the Mac app's menu.
macOS creates a virtual display matching your tablet's resolution — it shows up in System Settings just like a real monitor.
Work across two screens. Tap the tablet and it acts as your mouse, positioned exactly where you touch.
Wi-Fi works out of the box. For a more stable, lower-latency link, connect over USB instead — it needs one extra tool on the Mac side, adb, which most people won't have installed already.
adb command. Open Terminal and run brew install android-platform-tools (needs Homebrew). One-time setup — you won't need to touch Terminal again after this.Don't want to bother with any of this? Skip it — Wi-Fi mode needs no setup at all, just your Mac's LAN IP.
One tablet, one Mac, nothing running in the background you didn't ask for.
Connect over Wi-Fi for convenience or USB for a lower-latency, more stable link via adb reverse.
Tap, drag, and click directly on the tablet's screen — it's translated into precise mouse events on your Mac.
A random 6-digit pairing code keeps randoms on your network out, and everything runs over your own Wi-Fi or USB — no cloud relay, no account.
Lives quietly in the menu bar with no Dock icon — the pairing code and status are one click away.
Nothing exotic — just a recent Mac and an Android tablet.
