MeowDisplay app lets iPhones and iPads act as a Mac's display, with Android in beta

MeowDisplay is a free, open-source (GPL-3.0) application that reverses the usual screen-mirroring setup, letting an iPhone or iPad serve as an external or primary display for a Mac via a software-created virtual screen rather than a physical monitor. The Mac sender app (stable v2.0.0) requires macOS 14 or later, iOS/iPadOS receivers need version 16.4 or later, and an Android receiver is currently in closed beta testing on Google Play; a Mac-to-Mac receiving mode also exists but is not yet fully verified.

Xreal-style display glasses offer private giant screens without cameras

A reviewer tested Xreal smart glasses that tether to a laptop via USB-C and project a virtual screen equivalent to a 170-inch TV directly into the wearer's field of view. Unlike Meta's Ray-Ban glasses, these devices from makers like Xreal, Viture and Rokid contain no cameras or recording features, instead mirroring displays from laptops, phones, tablets or handheld consoles for a personal, portable viewing experience.
