Your Mac and iPad already make an incredibly powerful pair. With the Sidecar feature of macOS Catalina and iPadOS, they do even more—together.
Sidecar-optimized apps bring out the best in both devices: Annotate a PDF or screenshot on your iPad with your Apple Pencil, then insert that into a document on your Mac. Or use your iPad screen to draw, sketch, write, and edit directly in a Mac app.
Sidecar can also broaden your view. Extend your Mac’s display to your iPad screen to make more room for your favorite apps. You can even mirror your Mac screen on your iPad to share what you’re working on with others—or to use Mac apps on your iPad while kicking back on the couch.
To enable Sidecar, click the AirPlay menu in your Mac’s menu bar and choose your iPad. Then launch these amazing apps, which work great with Sidecar.
