This is a marvelous app! With this app individually you can only mirror your entire screen or a single app to any device that has an web browser. BUT, if you want to extend your screen to any device, you can create a virtual monitor on your primary computer and use Deskreen to mirror that particular monitor, then everything would be perfectly great!

If you are using MacOS ,you can download this BetterDisplay to create a virtual monitor on your computer; if you are using Windows or Linux, you can use some other app or buy a virtual display adaptor and plug it on your computer.

Can this app allow me to use iMac 2017 model running on Mojave as a secondary display for M1 MacBook Air?

What is Deskreen?

Deskreen turns any device with a web browser to a second screen for your computer

Deskreen is an electron.js based application that uses WebRTC to make a live stream of your desktop to a web browser on any device. It is built on top of Electron React Boilerplate For better security mechanism, end-to-end encryption is implemented, which is inspired by darkwire.io. The difference is that it is rewritten in Typescript and transformed to use node-forge instead of window.crypto.subtle. Why this was made? Because a client served with http without SSL, which makes window.crypto.subtle unavailable.

Features:

  • Second Screen: Use any device with a web browser as a second screen for your computer (with Display Dummy Plug).
  • Share Screen: Share your computer entire screen to any device that has a web browser.
  • Share App View: Limit Deskreen to share only a single application view to any device with a web browser.
  • WiFi Compatible: Deskreen is smart to share screen view over WIFI. No cables needed.
  • Multiple Devices Support: Connect as many devices as you want at the same time. Share your screen to all of them
  • Advanced Video Quality Control: You can change picture quality while sharing a screen. Auto quality change supported.
  • Easy to Use: Three easy steps to connect with a deskreen. User oriented design with features that you need.
  • Secure: Deskreen was built with security in mind. It uses an industry starndard of End-to-end encryption.
