Connect your iPad over Sidecar and force it to extend instead of mirror, without touching your main display.

System

Commands

Connect Sidecar

Background

Connect the iPad and force the configured display mode.

Disconnect Sidecar

Background

Disconnect the iPad.

Auto-Reconnect Sidecar

Background

Restore the Sidecar link after it drops (e.g. waking from sleep, or plugging the cable back in). Enable background refresh on this command to keep the iPad connected; run it manually to reconnect now, which works regardless of the auto-reconnect switch or the transport setting.

Fix Mirroring

Background

Reconnect the main BetterDisplay virtual screen to clear macOS Sidecar's own mirror mode when the iPad connects showing a copy of your main screen. Briefly reshuffles the desktop. Needs the BetterDisplay app installed and running.

Sidecar Status

Menu Bar

Menu-bar item showing the iPad name, connection status, and whether the iPad is nearby, with connect, disconnect, and extend/mirror actions. Refreshes about every minute so the status stays live; turn Background Refresh off on this command if you would rather it only update when opened (friendlier to menu-bar managers like Bartender, and easier on battery).
