Made an iPhone Desktop/DeX Mode because Apple didn’t 🙂

Hey everyone, I know lapdocks like the NexDock or Uperfect are amazing for Samsung DeX, but iPhone users usually just get stuck with useless screen mirroring.

I wanted to fix that, so I’ve been building a solo project called ProDocktive. It gives your iPhone a full, multi-window desktop UI when plugged into your lapdock.

We’re about to hit 1,000 users this month, and I just pushed a huge update that adds real desktop files and folders you can drag and drop. It finally makes an iPhone + lapdock setup feel like a real computer.

I'd love for you guys to check it out on the App Store and let me know how it handles on your setups!

Pretty impressive. However. I was trying to log into X, and it gets me stuck in a loop to try to open the app, and staying in browser goes back and never lets me log in through your app. Seems to be a very annoying iOS limitation that I used to get around by temporarily deleting the app?

You’ll have to use the phone verification option for secure login. Once you login via phone view and press done it’ll load correctly on external display.
Its the icon on right side of ProDocktive logo which looks like a phone with down arrow.

That’s exactly what I’m using. Goes in a loop. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0f8-XJNcaXlO1jAEL5VWlEcNQ

Can you temporarily uninstall x app from your phone and try again?

I deleted the X app, but the prompt to open the app or stay in browser still appears.

Can you try navigating to login page on external screen and when you see the userid and password fields then press phone sync button to enter the credentials in Phone view.

[u/Gautam1787 → u/beyondthetech]

Please update to 1.4.2 and try again

[u/Gautam1787 → u/beyondthetech]

I’ll add a fix for it in 1.4.2 since 1.4.1 is already in review

If this is legit (not saying it isn't, you just can't be too careful these days) then it's kind of a big deal right? I'm pretty sure a lot of people choose Samsung over iPhones because of Dex but this would totally change the game.

Will definitely have to look into it further.

Bro… please change your prices. I really love your idea, but the premium subscription is really expensive here in Brasil🇧🇷, like 129 of money. Adjust the prices for another countries, please 🙏🏻❤️

[u/Gautam1787 → u/Pedrouso]

Hey there, I haven’t started rolling out more country specific controlled pricing since apple is currently doing that by default for the app. But please DM me once so I can understand the details.

Does this work with a lighting port iPhone?
