Air Display Client overview
Air Display Client is the client component which lets you use a spare Mac’s screen as an extra display for your main computer. Launch this app on your spare Mac, then wirelessly connect to it from the free host app you’ll install on your main Mac to instantly expand its screen real estate.
Note: This is not the free Air Display host software that you need on your main computer. This is the client app that turns a Mac into a second monitor for another computer.
Features:
- Drag windows, apps, or control palettes from your main screen to give yourself more room to work
- Use up to 4 devices simultaneously to extend or mirror your computer
- Choose to run full screen or in a window
- Either extend your screen to get more room to work or mirror to share your screen with an audience
- Connect via Wi-Fi or over Ethernet
- Extremely responsive performance
- Mouse responsiveness indistinguishable from using a wired mouse
Installation:
- You’ll need the free Air Display Host installed on your main computer, and Air Display Client running on the Mac you want to use as an extra screen.
- Purchase this app on the Mac you want to use as your second display. (If you want to use your iPad or other mobile device as your second screen, you do not need to purchase this app. Air Display for iOS is available in the iTunes App Store (and you’ll still need the same free host software on your main computer)
- Launch Air Display Client on your "second display" Mac, and it will help you finish the setup.

Recently bought to use with my iMac and Macbook. It lags a lot, sent an Email to their support for assistance 4 days ago, their site says they reply in usually 1 business day. I still haven't received a response despite my follow up emails in the same thread. Feels like a complete scam

I would give it zero if that was an option. I foolishly downloaded the client app, installed it and THEN went to get the desktop version. They are extremely behind in making it available for current systems. And now I am out the money without any refund. I would not recommend going forward with this application.

I'm currently using a second MBP as external monitor.
I've installed Air Display Host on my primary MBP and run AirDisplay.app on the second MBP. The AirDisplay.app is the client program.
The $20 license is supposed to be used on the secondary device, so I've entered it in the AirDisplay.app.
Both MacBooks are on the same wifi, I just told my primary to connect to my secondary. At first, it entered in a 'window mode' on the secondary, so I clicked full screen (using the mouse pad of the secondary ;)).
It did not behave as expected, as it started using my secondary as my primary: i.e., my dock moved to the other macbook. According to the FAQ of the developer, that is something they could not automagically correct, so I just changed this behavior (using the trackpad of my primary macbook) via System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement. Just drag the dock from one box to the other.
First thoughts of the performance: it's okay, but could be better. There's a bit of lag, clearly there's compression on the data stream, as I can see artifacts on my pdfs when scrolling. I wonder how to improve the performance. Don't get me wrong, it's good enough for writing/reading.

Just a note about pricing: The host app for your Mac costs $20. Then you have to buy the client (iOS) app for $10, for a $30 total for this setup. Is it worth it? I don't know yet. I'm going all in and I'll soon find out.
