About Duet

Duet is a software application that allows users to turn their iPad, iPhone, Android, Mac, or PC into an extra display for their primary computer. It also provides remote desktop access and can transform a device into a professional drawing tablet.

Duet, from Duet Display Inc., is a utility that extends a user's workspace by turning secondary devices like iPads, iPhones, Android tablets, or even other computers into a second monitor. Developed by ex-Apple engineers, the software emphasizes a high-performance, low-latency connection, offering a retina display at 60 frames per second. Beyond screen extension, Duet provides remote desktop capabilities, allowing users to access their Mac or PC from anywhere. It also caters to creative professionals by transforming an iPad or Android device into a pressure-sensitive drawing tablet compatible with popular design software. The application is cross-platform, supporting macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android. Pricing is subscription-based with different tiers for screen extension, drawing, and remote access features, with free trials available for most plans. Support is available via email and a help center.
