Max Display Get the apps

Privacy

Last updated 6 November 2026

Max Display shows your Mac's screen on your other devices. The picture stays on your own network, and we don't collect anything about you or about what's on your screen.

In short

  • No accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking.
  • The picture, and your clicks and key presses, go straight between your own devices. They never reach us, and we run no servers for them.
  • What the apps remember stays on your devices, and you can make them forget it.

Who we are

Max Display and Max Display Sender are made by Best App Limited. In this policy, "we" means Best App Limited. You can reach us through our contact page.

What travels between your devices

Max Display Sender sends the picture of a screen from your Mac to the devices you connect. When you turn on Control Mac, those devices send back your taps, clicks, scrolling and key presses. All of it goes directly across your own network, over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and never through the internet or through us.

The Max Display app encrypts the connection. Connections from a web browser are encrypted when you turn that on in Max Display Sender. The TV Compatibility setting leaves browser encryption off, because many TV browsers can't use it.

When a device connects, it tells your Mac what kind of device it is and its name, so you can see who is connected. Another Mac gives its computer name. An iPhone or iPad gives only "iPhone" or "iPad".

What stays on your Mac

Max Display Sender keeps these on your Mac, and nowhere else:

  • Your virtual displays, with their names, sizes, settings and places in the arrangement.
  • The devices you've paired: each one's name and type, when it was paired, and a scrambled copy of the token that lets it back in. The token itself isn't kept.
  • The pairing code and the app's settings.
  • The security key that encrypts connections, in your Mac's keychain.
  • The random IDs your Max Display apps gave it for Premium, and what RevenueCat last said about each.

To forget every paired device, choose Forget All on the Display Sharing page. Each device then needs the pairing code again. Remove a virtual display from the Virtual Displays page.

What stays on your iPhone, iPad or other Mac

The Max Display app keeps these on the device:

  • The Macs you've connected to: the address, the token that lets you back in without the pairing code, and a fingerprint of the Mac's security key. These are kept in the device's keychain.
  • A small preview picture of each saved screen, so you can tell them apart.
  • Your settings.

To remove a saved screen and its preview, choose Forget on it. When it's the last saved screen from that Mac, the pairing goes too.

In a web browser

The page you open in a browser comes from your Mac, not from the internet. It uses no cookies. In the browser's own storage for that address, it keeps the token that lets it back in and your choices, such as the display you picked and whether Control Mac is on. Clearing the browser's website data for that address removes them.

Permissions the apps ask for

  • Screen recording, on your Mac. Max Display Sender needs it to send a screen's picture to your devices and to preview your displays.
  • Device Control and Data Access, on your Mac (called Accessibility before macOS 27). This lets taps and key presses from your devices move the pointer and type. It's needed only for Control Mac.
  • Local network, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Max Display needs it to find Macs on your network.

You can turn any of these off in your device's settings.

Purchases

Anything you buy in Max Display is sold through Apple's App Store. Apple handles the payment, so we never see your card or bank details. Apple's own privacy policy covers that part.

To keep track of Premium, the Max Display app uses RevenueCat, a subscription service. RevenueCat makes up a random ID for the app and keeps what was bought under it: the plan, and until when. It doesn't get your name, email address or Apple Account. When the app connects to your Mac, it gives this ID to Max Display Sender, which asks RevenueCat about it and keeps the answer on your Mac, so Premium keeps working for a while without the internet. RevenueCat's privacy policy covers what it keeps.

This website

This website uses no cookies, no analytics and no trackers. It loads its typeface from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google's servers, which can see your IP address. Google's privacy policy covers that. The company that hosts this site may keep standard server logs, such as IP addresses and the pages asked for, to run and protect the site.

Children

We don't collect personal information from anyone, children included.

Changes to this policy

If what the apps or this website do with your information changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top before the change takes effect.
