A large part of the people has a laptop as a workstation. This is of course super handy, because you can take it everywhere and therefore work wherever you want. A disadvantage is that you do not have such a large nice screen as on an iMac . Almost everyone has an iPad these days and why would you not use it as a second screen and in this way increase your productivity a lot?
Your iPad is a powerful tool that you can use to increase your productivity. Whether you’re on the go and need a portable second display, or you just need more space to work, your iPad can be the solution. But how do you set up your iPad as a second display? What tools and apps do you need? And how do you ensure compatibility between your devices and software?
Apple Sidecar
The easiest is the function of Apple itself called Sidecar. Do you have a MacBook or MacBook Pro from 2016 or a MacBook Air from 2018 or newer? Then Apple has built in a function called Sidecar, with which you can easily use your iPad as a second screen.
You can then use your iPad directly to drag windows to it and use it as a second monitor. The handy thing is that your iPad remains sensitive to touch and pen. If you have an Apple Pencil , you can continue to use it to write, illustrate or make notes on your 'extra' screen.
If your MacBook or iMac isn’t Sidecar-ready, there are a few other options. These require you to install an app on your iPad and your MacBook or iMac so they can talk to each other. Most of these apps are paid, but keep in mind that they’ll often cost you a lot more if you have to buy a new screen.
