On first launch, grant Screen Recording permission to the sender.\n\nIf you build from source, app outputs go into `build\u002F` folder.\n\n> **\"App is damaged\" warning?** macOS quarantines unsigned apps downloaded from the browser. Run this in Terminal, then try again:\n> ```bash\n> xattr -cr ~\u002FDownloads\u002FTargetBridge-arm64.app\n> xattr -cr ~\u002FDownloads\u002FTargetBridge-Receiver-arm64.app\n> xattr -cr ~\u002FDownloads\u002FTargetBridge-Receiver-x86_64.app\n> ```\n\n## Extended Desktop\n\nFor an extended desktop, choose `Extended display` on the sender before connecting. After the virtual display appears, open macOS **System Settings → Displays → Arrange** on the sender Mac and position the external display where you want it. TargetBridge now reuses the last saved extended-display position for the same receiver when possible.\n\nIf the receiver does not fill the iMac panel or the cursor\u002Fdesktop feels scaled incorrectly, select the external TargetBridge display in macOS Display Settings and choose the matching resolution. For the 27-inch 5K iMac path, use a high-clarity stream profile such as `Crisp` or `5K` with the external display set to the matching 2560 × 1440 HiDPI mode.\n\n## Quick start\n\n- Italian: [docs\u002FQuickStart-IT.md](docs\u002FQuickStart-IT.md)\n- English: [docs\u002FQuickStart-EN.md](docs\u002FQuickStart-EN.md)\n- 中文: [docs\u002FQuickStart-ZH.md](docs\u002FQuickStart-ZH.md)\n\n## Screenshots\n\n**Sender (Apple Silicon Mac) — multi-session dashboard:**\n![TargetBridge Sender](images\u002Fsender-multisession.png)\n\n**Sender — active mirrored stream (5K, HEVC):**\n![TargetBridge Sender active](images\u002Fsender-active-mirror.png)\n\n**Receiver (Intel iMac) — waiting for sender:**\n![TargetBridge Receiver](images\u002Freceiver.png)\n\n**macOS Displays — extended desktop target:**\n![TargetBridge extended desktop](images\u002Fdisplay-extend.png)\n\n**macOS Displays — mirrored desktop target:**\n![TargetBridge mirrored desktop](images\u002Fdisplay-mirror.png)\n","TargetBridge 是一个免费且开源的软件，能够让你将Intel iMac作为Apple Silicon Macs的外接显示器使用，通过Thunderbolt连接实现。该项目利用低延迟、高吞吐量的Thunderbolt连接以及Apple Silicon Media Engines进行快速H.264\u002FHEVC编码，支持从2560x1440到5120x2880的不同分辨率和刷新率配置文件，并可通过Bonjour自动发现接收设备。此外，它还支持一个发送端向多个接收端同时传输屏幕内容（需多条Thunderbolt线缆）。适用于需要扩展或镜像显示桌面的场景，尤其适合那些希望重新激活旧款iMac作为外部显示器使用的用户。",2,"2026-06-11 03:57:35","CREATED_QUERY"]
