To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software.

Company details

  1. Software Company

Written by the company

MacDisplay is a macOS app that turns any Mac running macOS 11 or later into a true extended second display for your main Mac. It connects over Thunderbolt, Ethernet, or local Wi‑Fi — no dongle, no account, no cloud. Unlike mirroring, you get a real second workspace at native resolution, with a crisp, native cursor. It's the software-only way to keep using an old iMac — or any spare Mac — as a second monitor after Apple discontinued Target Display Mode. One‑time purchase, no subscription, updates included, plus a free version that never expires. The app is notarized by Apple and universal (Apple Silicon + Intel), and it keeps nothing in the cloud: the screen stays between your two Macs. Built and supported by an independent developer in Italy. Email support and you'll hear back from a real person — in English or Italian.

As an owner of both a Mac Studio (2023)…

As an owner of both a Mac Studio (2023) and an iMac (2019), I strongly wanted to get use of the older Mac as an 2nd display for the newer one. For some time now, I've used a competitor's technology but have never been quite satisfied with the quality of the displayed content or the speed of response. Enter MacDisplay. A software solution that just works, and works very well. Responsive and clear. And the Support Staff is incredible, promptly responding to an issue (I created) with expert help and additional suggestions for best performance. The app price? Wow! Distinctly affordable. This is THE 'use an old Mac as a display' solution. Kudos, MacDisplay.

Reply from MacDisplay

Thank you Harold for taking the time to write this - it really made our day. A Mac Studio driving a 2019 iMac is exactly the kind of setup MacDisplay was made for: an older Mac with a screen that's still great, and no reason to let it gather dust.
And no need to take the blame for the issue - sorting those out quickly is part of the job, and we're happy the extra tips helped you get the most out of it. Thanks again for your trust, and enjoy the setup. There's more on the way.
