Wing Display is a Mac menu bar app that turns an Android tablet into a second display, extending the desktop wirelessly at up to 60 frames per second. The Mac app is free, with optional Pro features available through a subscription on the Android side. (Free Mac app; Pro features $2.99/month or $24.99/year via Google Play)
The connection runs directly between the Mac and the tablet—encrypted, with no account, cloud relay, or server required. Over Wi-Fi, the tablet hotspot or a shared network can be used. For environments with restricted or congested Wi-Fi, a USB connection is available as a Pro feature, providing the most stable frame rate.
Pro features on the tablet expand beyond display mirroring: touch input enables tap, drag, scroll, and pinch gestures on the tablet screen to control the Mac, and S Pen support adds pressure sensitivity, tilt, and hover detection with palm rejection. These features are activated through the Android companion app purchased via Google Play. The free wireless display functionality remains permanently available after cancelling a Pro subscription.
The app supports up to 60 fps. USB mode provides the steadiest connection for latency-sensitive workflows. The Mac app is notarized by Apple and requires no additional driver installation.
System requirements: Mac running macOS 15 Sequoia or later (Apple Silicon or Intel). Android tablet running Android 11 or later. iPad is not supported.
Pricing: Mac app is free with no paid tier. Pro features (touch, S Pen, USB): $2.99/month or $24.99/year via Google Play, with a 14-day free trial for first-time subscribers.
