How it works

Ready the moment you plug in.

SharePad lives in your menu bar and finds your iPad as soon as it connects to your Mac.

1

Plug in the iPad

Connect it over USB. There’s nothing to install on the iPad.

2

The window appears

A clean window opens automatically, matched to your iPad’s shape so nothing looks squished. Show or hide it whenever you like.

3

Share it in the call

Pick it from the “Share window” list in Zoom, Meet or Teams, open your favourite app, and you’re ready to go.

The SharePad menu-bar popover, showing a live preview of the connected iPad, the device name, a Hide window button, and toggles for auto-show on connect, keep window on top, and launch at login.
The whole app lives in your menu bar — a live preview of exactly what you’re sharing, with show/hide and keep-on-top controls a click away.
Privacy

Nothing leaves your Mac.

SharePad just shows the iPad in a window on your machine. There’s no account to set up, and it never touches the internet.

Before you download

How it ships, honestly.

SharePad isn’t on the Mac App Store, so you download it straight from here.

  • Every build is signed and notarised by Apple, so it opens with a normal double-click.
  • It runs outside Apple’s sandbox, because that’s the only way macOS will treat a plugged-in iPad as a camera. That’s also why it can’t be on the App Store.
  • The code is open, so you can read what it does.
FAQ

Questions, answered.

How do I share my iPad screen on Zoom, Google Meet or Teams?
Plug your iPad into your Mac over USB and SharePad opens a clean window showing its screen. In your call, choose “Share window” and pick SharePad from the list — the same way you’d share any app. There’s no mid-call setup, and it works in Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams.
Do I need to install anything on the iPad?
No. There’s nothing to install on the iPad and no app to open — just connect it to your Mac over USB. Everything runs on the Mac side.
Is SharePad a virtual camera?
No. A virtual camera shows up as a small webcam tile in a call. SharePad gives you a proper shared window at full size — which is what you want for live drawing and whiteboarding.
Does it work with Apple Pencil and drawing apps?
Yes. Use whatever drawing, writing or notes app you like on the iPad — SharePad simply shows the iPad’s screen, so your Apple Pencil strokes appear live in the call as you make them.
What do I need to run SharePad?
A Mac running macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, and a USB cable to connect your iPad. That’s it.
Why isn’t SharePad on the Mac App Store?
macOS only treats a plugged-in iPad as a camera for apps that run outside Apple’s sandbox, and App Store apps must be sandboxed. SharePad is still signed and notarised by Apple, so it opens with a normal double-click — you just download it directly rather than from the store.
Is my data private?
Yes. SharePad just shows the iPad in a window on your Mac. There’s no account, no sign-in, and it never sends anything over the internet.
