Sidecar

Use an iPad as a second display for a Mac

With Sidecar, you can use your iPad as a display that extends or mirrors your Mac desktop.

Get ready

  • Before continuing, make sure that your Mac and iPad meet the Sidecar system requirements, including that each is signed with the same Apple ID.

  • You can use Sidecar wirelessly, but to keep your iPad charged during use, connect it directly to your Mac with the USB charge cable that came with your iPad.
