Hey 👋 Spantop turns any spare Mac or Android tablet into a wired/wireless extended for your Mac. Use a second Mac or Android tablet as a HiDPI monitor over Wi-Fi, Thunderbolt, or USB-C. Powered by LZ4 for near-zero-latency streaming, with your screen staying local. Sidecar only works with iPads. Spantop works with Macs and Android tablets too. Free forever. Feedback welcome!
