Note: Castaway requires an Apple Vision Pro, USB Capture Card, and compatible Mac or iPad. Castaway only works on iPads with a USB-C connector. This is the iPadOS companion app for Castaway. Castaway is an app that turns your Apple Vision Pro into an HDMI monitor. Stream from your favorite game console, PC, or HDMI enabled device and view in your spatial environment. With an easy to use connection flow, Castaway lets you instantly connect and stream from your devices. Castaway has on-device intelligent 4k upscaling powered by Metal, meaning you can play your favorite games at 4k on your Vision Pro.

Thank you!

Just wanted to thank the developer for making this cool tool and for getting it out at the starting gate. My first experience was pretty laggy, would be fine for some things but I was trying to use my managed, work windows machine through VisionPro and the curser lagged too much. After this latest update the lag has improved significantly and is now usable! Thank you for continuing to improve this app. I still have enough lag to make it annoying so I am hopping this just keeps getting better. 4 stars for now but there is a lot of potential here.

This app was available pretty much day one for the Vision Pro. At that time, it was a bit too laggy to be useful for projecting a windows computer. However, the new update has improved the lag enough to make thisusable. Thank you to the developer for continuing to support this app and improve it. My hope is that this continues to improve

After fixing the initial sync issues, this is a really cool app and it works as advertised! If you notice any grainy-ness to your video, increase the bitrate by fiddling with the iPad app.This’ll easily be a terrific 5 star app in the future as latency continues to drop and audio streaming is added.

Developer Response
Hi! Thanks for the feedback, there was a bug in a previous version preventing some devices from connecting. It has been fixed in version 1.0.5 of Castaway.

The website says the sound feature under development. I would be appreciated of it!
