Show HN: MeowDisplay Is iPhone Mirroring, but in Reverse

Hey HN and Cats, thank you for checking this out!

Github: https://github.com/raiseCatError/meowdisplay

EDIT 2: I should've mentioned that MeowDisplay started as a fork of OpenDisplay: https://github.com/peetzweg/opendisplay which provided the foundational screen capture, virtual display, encoding and iPhone/iPad receivers. I've since taken it in a more phone-first direction, with work on the interaction, streaming and security layers. I've credited OpenDisplay and its developer Philip in the README under "Built on OpenDisplay".

MeowDisplay is my take on the control your Mac from your phone scene. Available on iPhones, iPads and Macs, with Android rn in closed testing.

The website has interactive illustrative demos if you'd like to see the app demonstrated.

I think MeowDisplay does a few things differently, some of which I prefer and you might too.

Such as Window view: allowing multiple tabs in split-screen type panes. Traditional Mirror/Extend views exist as alternatives. Floating windows: coming in the 2.1 release.

Touch input approaches: Direct Touch(Classic or Natural), experimental Smart Touch, and Trackpad mode alongside Apple Pencil support. Doesn't sacrifice display space for a trackpad, use all of the phone's screen with your preferred mode.

Stage Peek: shows a scrollable and searchable list of your Mac's windows on your phone along with an app drawer when you hold and pull on the left edge of your screen.

It's free and open source so you can try it and see if it's for you without having to commit to it or anything.

EDIT: I've used MeowDisplay during development whilst I was travelling between cities, left my acbook at home clamshell, powered, external display attached, and used it for small tasks remotely, it was pretty reliable even on a 5G network on a moving bus.

Meow, Jai

Cool. Does it support proper color profiles on the iPhone and HDR content?
raiseCatError•28m ago
Not currently, haven't verified color profile accuracy on the iPhone yet, and HDR isn't supported as of now either.

I really want an evaluation of all of these classes of remote desktop systems and latency. Almost all of my remote display experiences have been mediocre due to lag. Maybe my tolerance is too low? How is the latency on this product?

Only RDP has felt truly responsive to me, and my understanding is that it cheats by not sending raster graphics and instead drawing primaries directly on the remote system and then updating the state based on the server?

raiseCatError•31m ago
I agree, I have benchmarks planned for the future.

As far as the latency on MeowDisplay, In my testing on Wifi, I measured around 14-17ms median from capture to receiver handoff, not e2e. I've also seen occasional spikes around 50-90ms and some stalled frames, you do notice the stalls but overall it's pretty responsive.

I've preferred to show the cursor as it is on the mac instead of rendering it locally on the phone which may make it feel smoother but the trade-off is that it may not accurately represent where the cursor actually is on the mac if things lag or hang.

Then again, it does depend on the connection.

iLoveOncall•34m ago
Isn't that natively supported? I thought you could use your iPhone as side display for your Mac.

EDIT: Yes, the feature is called Sidecar.

freeli•28m ago
Sidecar works to extend your Mac's display to iPads but does not work on iPhones.

Thank you!

Since this forks opendisplay, what are you doing differently? Are you a layer on top, or a different direction?

I'd have expected that to be declared in an announcement for this community.

raiseCatError•14m ago
Yup, I'll add a snippet in the post, thanks,

For answering your question, MeowDisplay started as a fork of OpenDisplay which had the foundations for screen capture, virtual displays, encoding and the iPhone/iPad receivers built, I've credited OpenDisplay and its developer Philip in the README under "Built on OpenDisplay"

After that, I've taken a more phone-first approach, with quite a bit of work on the interaction, streaming and security layers.

So it's built on OpenDisplay and not just a UI layer over it, MeowDisplay is going in a different direction, If you only need the core second-display experience, or compatibility that the OpenDisplay project serves better, OpenDisplay is well worth a look.
