Turn your Android device into a secondary display with Duet Display

Duet Display for Android devices
Great news, Android users. The people who first brought you the best app that turns the iPad into a secondary screen, lag-free, is now available for Android devices.
With macOS Catalina just around the corner and Apple’s Sidecar getting ready to make its debut, Duet Display has turned to the most popular mobile OS. That’s right; the best app for letting you turn your iPad and iPhone into a secondary display for both Mac and PC computers now offers that very same functionality to Android tablets, phones and – amazingly enough – Chromebooks.
These aforementioned devices can now be used as a second display for your Macs running on OS 10.14 or later and PCs running on Windows 10, whether wired or wirelessly, as long as those devices are running on Android 7.1+. This means that Android device users can now enjoy the same increased productivity, more seamless workflow and better multitasking as Apple device users – all for just $9.99 in the US.
However, don’t take this news to mean that Duet Display is at all threatened by the arrival of Sidecar. While we can’t compare how it measures up to one of macOS Catalina’s key features just yet, Duet doesn’t seem to be worried.
The Verge reported that Duet CEO and founder Rahul Dewan said in an email that “Sidecar is a free product made for casual users, and we have many features they don’t.”
In other words, Sidecar may be designed for casual use and mainstream users, whereas Duet Display is intended to meet the needs of a serious professional or creative. This is made clear through features like optimization for ultra-responsive drawing, precise control in a number of widely used software like Photoshop, Illustrator and Lightroom, cross-platform support and adding a touch bar to the iPad with your Mac.
The Android version isn’t as comprehensive in features as the Mac version, but the “performance is already very close compared to iOS,” according to Dewan. Those extra features will be added later with new updates.
Duet Display is now available for $9.99 (about £8, AU$15) for both iOS/iPadOS and Android.

Linktree’s free workaround lets you add multiple links to your Instagram bio

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market. Unlike typical image editors that allow you to remove red eye or apply a filter, Pixaloop allows you to create stunning photo animations with a few clicks on your
