Your iPhone.
A real desktop.
Any monitor.

Plug into a monitor or TV and DeskState fills the screen with a desktop: draggable windows, a dock, Spotlight, Mission Control. Your phone becomes the trackpad and keyboard. Native resolution, no black bars.

Free to start

No account needed

24h of Pro on first connect

Three steps to a desktop

Connect

USB-C to HDMI cable, a portable monitor, a lapdock or AirPlay to an Apple TV. iPhone 15 or newer plugs straight in.

Open DeskState

The monitor shows the desktop at its native resolution. The first connection unlocks every Pro feature for 24 hours.

Work like on a Mac

Swipe on the phone to move the cursor, tap to click, two fingers to scroll. Pair a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse if you want the full setup.

Everything a desktop should have. Nothing iOS gives you.

Real windows

Drag, resize, focus, snap to halves and quarters. Mission Control to see everything at once.

Your phone is the trackpad

Cursor, clicks, scrolling and a keyboard, all from the iPhone in your hand. No extra hardware required.

No black bars

Fills 16:9, ultrawide and 4K screens at native resolution instead of mirroring a phone-shaped rectangle.

Built-in tools

Web panels, Documents, Notes, Console, Quick Calc, Focus Timer, Stopwatch, Tasks and World Clock. All in windows.

Your web apps, windowed

Gmail, Calendar, Notion, GitHub, YouTube, Reddit and more open as desktop-class windows. Pin your favourites to the dock.

Make it yours

Accent colours, dock styles, wallpapers or your own photo. Spotlight search to launch anything by name.

Your first day is Pro. No card, no trial signup.

The moment you connect a display for the first time, every Pro feature switches on for 24 hours: unlimited time on the desktop, quarter snapping, premium themes and the Pro tools. Use it for a real day of work, then decide.

After the preview you keep the free plan for as long as you like: three desktop sessions a day, five minutes each. Enough to check it still works. Pro removes the limit.

Start your free day

Simple pricing. Pay once if you prefer.

Every plan starts with the free 24-hour Pro Preview. Prices in USD, shown in your local currency on the App Store.

Questions before you plug in

Which iPhones and cables work?

Any iPhone on iOS 18.6 or later. USB-C iPhones (iPhone 15 and newer) connect with a USB-C to HDMI cable or adapter, a USB-C monitor or a lapdock. Lightning iPhones need Apple's Lightning Digital AV Adapter. AirPlay to an Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible TV also works.

Does it run my native iOS apps in windows?

No. iOS does not let one app display another, so DeskState runs its own tools and web apps in windows. Gmail, Notion, GitHub, Google Docs and most services work well as web panels.

Can I use a real mouse and keyboard?

Yes. Pair them with the iPhone in Bluetooth settings. The phone's trackpad and on-screen keyboard stay available as a fallback.

What happens when the Pro Preview ends?

You drop to the free plan: three sessions a day of five minutes. Nothing is deleted. Upgrade from the app whenever you want the limit gone, or keep using it free.

How do I cancel or get a refund?

Subscriptions are billed by Apple. Cancel under Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions on the iPhone; access continues to the end of the period. Refunds are requested through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
