AV Stream Pro turns another Mac or iPad into a simple, fullscreen, low-latency monitor for what’s happening on a Mac on your local network
AV Stream Pro turns another Mac or iPad into a simple, fullscreen, low-latency monitor for what’s happening on a Mac on your local network.
Share a specific window or your entire screen from one Mac and watch it on a second device — no remote control, no mouse or keyboard forwarding, and no cloud. Built for local AV monitoring, not remote desktop software.
Perfect for headless Mac mini setups, second-screen monitoring, OBS or preview windows, dashboards, playback checks, and portable “extra panel” workflows — without HDMI capture hardware on the viewer.
WORKS WITH
• Mac-to-Mac on the same LAN (Share + Connect in one Mac app)
• iPad as a fullscreen viewer (Connect; when the iOS build is installed)
• Wi‑Fi or Ethernet on the same local network
• Window or full-screen sources on the sending Mac
FEATURES
• Share and Connect in one Mac app
• Low-latency H.264 streaming for monitoring (not collaboration)
• Fullscreen viewing with a clean, minimal interface
• Automatic discovery on your local network (Bonjour)
• Hardware-accelerated encoding and decoding (VideoToolbox)
• Native Apple stack: ScreenCaptureKit on the sender, efficient decode on the receiver
IDEAL FOR
• Using a second Mac or iPad as a monitor for one window or the full screen
• Headless Mac mini “what’s on screen” visibility from another machine
• Preview / confidence monitoring while working on a primary display
• Desk or wall displays driven from a primary Mac
• Anyone who wants local streaming without RDP/VNC complexity
Open the app, choose Share or Connect, pick your source or stream on the LAN, and watch — stream the device, don’t control it.
