Features

A Screen Sharing client written new for iPadOS 26.

What it does

Finds your Macs

Bonjour lists every Mac on your network with Screen Sharing on. Tap one to save it. Over a VPN, add one Mac by its address and Mande finds the rest.

Touch and trackpad

Tap to click. Or use the whole screen as a trackpad: drag to move, tap to click, two fingers to scroll or right-click.

Keyboard

A hardware keyboard just works. The on-screen keyboard puts every Mac key one tap away, including ⌘, ⌃ and esc.

Menu bar, Shortcuts, Spotlight

A Session menu and New Mac in the iPad menu bar. Open a saved Mac from Spotlight, Shortcuts or Siri.

Liquid Glass

Panels and controls use the system's own Liquid Glass. Mande is written for iPadOS 26, so every screen is made once, for now.

Fits your connection

Colour depth and frame rate follow your measured speed, or pin a profile yourself.

Several sessions

Open more than one Mac at a time, with Stage Manager and external displays.

Apple sign-in

Mande speaks macOS Screen Sharing's own sign-in, so you connect without changing your Mac's settings.

SSH tunnel

Carry the whole session inside SSH, with a gateway key pinned on first use and your iPad's key kept in the Secure Enclave.

Keychain

Passwords stay in the iPad's Keychain, optionally behind Face ID or Touch ID.

What you need

  • An iPad with iPadOS 26 or later. iPhone is planned.
  • A Mac with Screen Sharing on: System Settings, General, Sharing, Screen Sharing.
  • For Mande Companion, a Mac with macOS 26.
