An older release. For the current version, see https://getsill.app/download. Sill for iPhone and iPad is now on the App Store (https://apps.apple.com/app/id6816359860), and on your network it doesn't connect to this version of Sill for Mac: it shows the Mac as "Update Sill". Sill for Mac 0.4.0 and later pair each device by default and encrypt every connection.

The first release of Sill for Mac: a free, open-source companion that streams one Mac window at a time to the Sill app on iPhone and iPad, and sends touch, Pencil, trackpad and keyboard input back.

Requirements. A Mac with Apple silicon on macOS 14 or later. The iPhone and iPad app is on its way to TestFlight; until it is public, this release is for people who build the iOS app from the source in this repository.

Install. Unzip, move Sill to Applications and open it. It lives in the menu bar. On first run it asks for Screen Recording and Accessibility, which it needs to stream a window and to control it. It creates no account and installs nothing else.

Checksum. Sill.zip.sha256 sits beside the download; compare it with shasum -a 256 Sill.zip. The app is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple.

Good to know.

  • On your own network, a device running Sill can connect to your Mac without pairing (the Mac accepts connections only from its own networks and links). Pairing for home networks comes in the next release.
  • Remote access, over Tailscale or another VPN you run, is off by default and always requires pairing with the QR code or the typed code the Mac shows.
  • Once a day Sill asks GitHub whether a newer version exists (Settings › General turns that off). It never downloads or installs anything by itself.
  • Direct Wireless Connection (peer-to-peer Wi-Fi to devices that share no network with the Mac) is off by default.
