Show & Tell: Duet Display

Duet DisplayIf you’ve ever wished your Mac had a touch screen, good news! An ex-Apple Engineer came up with an app for that.

The app is called Duet Display, and it turns your iPad or iPad Pro into a touch screen-capable additional monitor for your Mac. You only need to connect your iPad and Mac using the Lighting connector and run the app, and voila!, your iPad is an additional and powerful screen for the Mac.

And if you have an iPad Pro, you can even use the Apple Pencil to turn your iPad into a pressure-sensitive Wacom-like tablet and draw directly in Photoshop, Canvas, Illustrator, or any other graphics application.

Duet Display is just $19.95, and works well with any iPad running iOS 7 or above and any Mac running OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) or above, and now, even Windows 7 or above. Available on the App Store.
