Why I built a free Duet Display alternative

Duet Display wants $4/mo just to use your iPad as a second monitor. For something that should be a basic utility, that felt wrong.


So I built BetterCast — a completely free alternative that does the same

thing without subscriptions or hidden fees.


How it works:


Install on your PC/Mac + your tablet or phone

Both devices connect over your local network Your second device becomes a real extended display


No account required. No cloud. No latency issues. It's peer-to-peer over your local network.


I built this because I was tired of paying for something that should be

free. If you're a developer, remote worker, or student who just needs more

screen space without spending money — this is for you.


Try it here:


Every feature is free — 4K, multi-monitor, ultra-low latency, all of it.

No upgrade walls. If you want to support the project, there's an optional

$5 one-time donation to help us get BetterCast on the App Store.
