Where it’s used

Whatever screen is in the room.

On the Road

SSH, Remote Screen and the Editor turn a hotel desk and its monitor into a workstation.

On the Hotel TV

Video from the web or your files, full screen at the TV’s resolution.

In Front of a Room

PDFs, pages and photos on the projector, with the iPhone in your hand.

On the Couch

Cloud games on the TV with an Xbox, PlayStation or Switch Pro controller.

How it works

Plug it in. The desktop opens by itself.

  1. Connect a Display

    Plug your iPhone into a monitor, TV or projector with a USB‑C cable or an HDMI adapter. Or use AirPlay: Control Center › Screen Mirroring, then your TV or Mac.

  2. The Desktop Opens

    At the display’s own resolution, with the windows you left there last time.

  3. Your iPhone Is the Trackpad

The desktop · Free

A real desktop, not a mirrored phone.

Windows, a Dock and a menu bar, at the display’s full resolution. The shortcuts you know work, and each menu shows them.

Windows

Move, resize, minimize and zoom them. Drag one to an edge or a corner for half or a quarter of the display, or tile it with ⌃⌥ and the arrows. ⌃⌘F puts a window in full screen, and ⌘` cycles through them.

The Dock

Your apps, and folders beside the Trash. A click on a folder fans out its newest items, with Open in Files.

Menus and Shortcuts

The front app’s menus in the menu bar, every shortcut beside its command. Secondary-click menus everywhere, and a quick preview of any file.

The Palette

⌘Space, or the magnifying glass on the iPhone, finds apps, recent items, files, settings and menu commands. Type an address to open it, or words to search the web.

Widgets and Notifications

Clock, Batteries, Downloads and Up Next, wherever you put them. Banners at the top right, and the earlier ones a click on the clock away.

Right Where You Left It

Windows, tabs and the page of each PDF come back the next time you connect.

Your Display, Your Scale

From Larger text to More Space. A new resolution goes back by itself after 15 seconds unless you keep it.

Calls and Sound

When the iPhone rings, a banner says so and video pauses until the call ends. The Sound menu sets the volume and shows where sound goes.

Apps

14 apps, made for the display.

8 are free. Attracco Pro adds the workstation: SSH, Remote Screen, the Editor, the Assistant, Calendar and the Command Line.

Input

Your hands, your keyboard, your controller.

The iPhone’s Keyboard

It types wherever the display has focus, and Paste sends the iPhone’s clipboard there. Over the Command Line it adds Tab, ⌃C, the arrows and a row of suggestions.

A Keyboard and Mouse

A hardware keyboard works directly. A Bluetooth or USB mouse works once AssistiveTouch is on.

A Wide Trackpad

Turn the trackpad sideways, as wide as a laptop’s. Speed, scrolling, tap to click and the pointer’s size are yours to set, and the welcome lets you practice first.

Send to iPhone

Moves the page in front to the phone for anything that needs a real touch, such as some sign-ins.

Game Controllers Pro

An Xbox, PlayStation, Switch Pro or MFi controller paired with the iPhone plays in the page in front, for cloud gaming, with rumble. Settings lists them with their batteries.

Privacy

It asks first.

No Account

There is nothing to sign up for. Your files stay on your iPhone and in the places you add, and Delete All Data clears what Attracco keeps.

Permission, Each Time It Matters

The Assistant, sites and programs ask before they see or change anything. Settings shows every request of the last 30 days.

In Your Keychain

Passwords, SSH keys, API keys and your signature are kept in the iPhone’s Keychain.

Anonymous Counts, With a Switch

Attracco counts which features are used, never what you type, open, browse or ask. It’s on at first; turn it off in Settings › Privacy on the iPhone.

Attracco Pro

Your iPhone, the whole workstation.

Every app on the display, and as many windows as you like. The desktop, the Browser, Files, the PDF Viewer, the Gallery and the Player stay free.

Questions

Before you plug in.

What do I need?

An iPhone with iOS 26.6 or later, and a display: a monitor, TV or projector with a USB‑C cable or an HDMI adapter, or AirPlay to an Apple TV, an AirPlay TV or a Mac with AirPlay Receiver on.

Does it show my other iPhone apps?

No. The desktop runs Attracco’s own apps. iOS doesn’t let one app show another, or its notifications.

Can I use a mouse and a keyboard?

Yes. A hardware keyboard works directly, and a Bluetooth or USB mouse works once AssistiveTouch is on in the iPhone’s Settings.

What happens when I unplug?

The iPhone shows Attracco’s home: your files, PDFs, computers and the Assistant. The desktop’s windows come back the next time you connect.

Does the Assistant cost extra?

The Assistant is part of Attracco Pro. It uses your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic or xAI, so that company bills you for what you use. It asks you before it sees or changes anything.

Some buttons on a page don’t react to a click. Why?

A few sites ask for a real touch, as some sign-ins and full-screen buttons do. Send to iPhone moves the page to the phone, where you tap it.

How do I cancel the yearly plan?

In your Apple Account’s subscriptions, or from Settings › Attracco Pro in the app. Cancel before the free week ends and nothing is charged.

What does “Attracco” mean?

It’s Italian for a mooring, the place where a boat docks. Your iPhone docks to whatever screen is in the room.
