SharePad – iPad Screen Share Helper

Mac users struggle with the cumbersome process of sharing their iPad screen during video calls. SharePad is a menu bar app that gives you a clean window to share your iPad display on any video call when plugged in via USB. Solves the annoying 'QuickTime dance' for remote collaboration.

Remote work normalization has made screen sharing a daily workflow, and Apple's Continuity features keep evolving in ways that highlight the gap between what's native and what's actually smooth in practice. The closest substitute is just QuickTime Player itself, which is free but clunky — no dedicated tool has clearly won this niche. At $200–1k/month, you're likely looking at a $5–10 one-time or low-subscription price point with a narrow addressable market: Mac owners who regularly demo iPad apps or teach on video calls, which is a thin slice. The biggest risk is Apple shipping a first-party fix — Continuity Camera was exactly this kind of "close the gap" move, and one WWDC announcement could eliminate the problem entirely.
