What is Air Display?
Air Display is an app that allows you to use a spare Mac as an extra display for your main Mac. You can connect wirelessly or with a cable, and it's easy to use. The app allows you to drag windows, apps, or control palettes from your main screen to give yourself more room to work. You can use up to 4 devices simultaneously to extend or mirror your computer. The app can run either full-screen or in a window, and you can either extend your screen to get more room to work or mirror to share your screen with an audience.
1. Just install the free Air Display host app (from avatron.com/gethost) on your main Mac, and download this Air Display client app on your second Mac.
2. Air Display for iOS is available in the iTunes App Store (and you’ll still need the same free host software on your main computer).
3. IMPORTANT: This is NOT the free Air Display host software that you need on your main computer.
4. It's easy to use! Just launch this app on your spare Mac, then connect to it from the free host app on your main Mac, to instantly expand its screen real estate.
