This is the big quality-of-life fix. Approve SideDisplay once under System Settings > General > Login Items & Extensions (under Background App Activity), and starting and stopping just works from then on. No more entering your password every time you connect. (If you'd rather not approve it, nothing changes and you'll be asked for the password as before.)
Hey everyone! We just shipped v1.10.0 for macOS, with a big focus on making the connection setup simpler, especially for Tesla.
Screen-Only Hotspot Now Works with Tesla
This is the big one. You can now use your Tesla as a second display with no internet or tethering required. Just turn on the screen-only hotspot and connect. No phone needed.
We just shipped v1.6.0 for Windows. This one is focused on making it easier to connect, especially for in-car use.
Hotspot Without Internet
A new "Hotspot with loopback interface" mode lets your PC broadcast a hotspot even when it has no internet connection. Great for Tesla setups where you just want to extend your display without needing to tether your phone.
