XeOS: External Display Browser v2
Best way to use your iPhone in Desktop Mode / Multitasking

Enjoy a full-screen browser (the star of the show), file system access, Office document previews, a PDF editor, media players, installable web apps, and much more. Breathe new life into your old devices with XeOS, the best alternative to Samsung DeX and Android Desktop Mode.
Hi everyone,
Version 2 of XeOS is easily my favorite app I’ve ever published. After the success of External Display Browser, which received amazing reviews and is used around the world in ways I never even imagined, XeOS now expands it far beyond its original functionality.
It has evolved into a fully fledged, Chromebook-style operating system that deeply integrates with the iPhone and iPad file system, bringing a full suite of apps to work seamlessly with your files on your monitor.
And of course, we can’t forget the star of the show: the web browser. Previously a standalone app, it was already more than enough for most users. Now, it’s part of a much bigger experience, delivering what I believe is the best external display solution available today. With full YouTube support, true fullscreen streaming, and a browsing experience that comes closer than anything else to a real desktop browser, nothing else really compares.
You can try the new version of XeOS now on the App Store. I’d love to hear your feedback. Community input has been a big part of how this app has grown, and it continues to shape its future.
Cheers,
Marian
Does this work over a wired connection, or only wireless like AirPlay? Curious how the latency compares for stuff like mouse movement and video calls.
Does this need a wired connection or does it work over AirPlay to the external display? Curious how it handles latency for things like video calls and whether the camera actually feeds back into apps like Zoom properly.
Finally got full screen YouTube on my portable monitor with no black bars, which alone makes this worth it. Mouse and keyboard support feels smooth enough for actual browsing rather than a gimmick.
The full-screen experience with no black bars is a really thoughtful touch, especially for someone who uses a portable monitor regularly. Love that it handles camera and mic passthrough too.
Does the picture stay smooth when im scrolling through long sites or watching longer youtube sessions, or does the frame rate drop on the external display?
