iPhone
Plug in a monitor or TV and your iPhone becomes a real desktop. Your first five sessions are Pro, free.
iOS mirrors your iPhone with black bars. DeskState gives you a desktop instead: plug into a monitor, TV or projector and get windows, a Dock, Launchpad, Spotlight and Mission Control at the display's full resolution. Your iPhone becomes the trackpad and keyboard.
A REAL DESKTOP
• Windows you move, resize and snap to halves or quarters of the screen
• A Dock you arrange yourself, Launchpad, Spotlight with quick sums, and Mission Control
• A web browser with tabs, bookmarks, history and downloads, and any site as an app in your Dock
• Notes, documents, console, calculator, focus timer and more
• Your desktop remembers: windows come back where you left them
YOUR IPHONE IS THE TRACKPAD
• Swipe, tap, two-finger scroll, double-tap and hold to drag, three fingers for all your windows
• Type with the iPhone keyboard and see what you type; arrow keys, Tab and Esc above it
• Works with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse too
CONNECT
• iPhone 15 and later: any USB-C to HDMI cable
• Earlier iPhones: Lightning Digital AV Adapter
• Apple TV and AirPlay displays
PLANS
Your first five desktop sessions are Pro, free. After that the free plan gives you 20 minutes of desktop a day. DeskState Pro removes the limit and adds quarter snapping, a desktop for each display, themes and wallpapers, Pro tools and iCloud sync, monthly, yearly or once.
Streaming services with copy protection show video only over a cable, not over AirPlay. DeskState is a desktop inside the app: it runs its own apps and websites, not other iOS apps.
