Been wanting a secondary monitor for a Mac? It’s possible you

already have one. Leif Johnson reports

I

f your Mac is running macOS Catalina, you can now

use your iPad as a secondary monitor with the new

‘Sidecar’ feature. It’s ridiculously easy to set up

wirelessly through AirPlay.

First, a few notes. Unlike with some existing third-

party screen-sharing apps such as Air Display 3, you

can really only use your fingers on the display for

simple actions such as scrolling through text.
