Compatibility
Check this before you buy.
What you need
- MacRequired
- Apple silicon (M-series). Intel Macs are not supported.
- macOSRequired
- macOS 14 or later.
- Tablet
- A BOOX tablet running Android, with Developer options available.
- Cable
- A USB data cable — required for first-time setup even if you intend to use Wi-Fi.
- Developer tools
- Not needed. The tablet app and USB tools are included in the download.
- Code signingRequired
- The current build is ad hoc signed and not notarized, so macOS will warn that it cannot verify the developer on first launch.
Limitations
Know before buying.
Other limitations
- Apple silicon only. Intel Macs cannot run it.
- Window capture is view-only unless you grant Accessibility and enable Control Mac.
- The BOOX on-screen keyboard is not forwarded — typing needs a physical keyboard attached to the tablet.
- Control Mac has to be re-enabled on the BOOX after every reconnect.
- Android Back, Home and volume keys stay with the tablet and are not passed to the Mac.
- E-ink refresh behaviour means this suits reading, writing, reference and terminal work rather than video or fast motion.
Accessibility
Accessibility notes
E-ink is reflective rather than backlit. macOS text size, Zoom, Increase Contrast, Reduce Motion and VoiceOver continue to work on the extended display.
Tablet control requires Accessibility permission; otherwise the display is view-only.
Privacy
Privacy at a glance.
Screen frames and optional input travel over USB or your local Wi-Fi. Our servers do not receive them. The app collects no screen content or telemetry.
Screen Recording is required. Accessibility is needed for tablet control; Local Network is needed for Wi-Fi.
