Following are some apps that you use as a companion to apps running on a laptop/desktop computer. Companion… as in the same way you use a mouse, keyboard and monitor to use an app. No one else seems to be tracking these, so here is my list, please share if you know any more.
Diet Coda
Desktop app: Coda by Panic, Mac
iOS editor: Diet Coda
While you are editing code in Coda, this allows you to immediately see the changes in a dedicated preview window on the iPad.
Air Display
Desktop app: (any Mac or PC)
iOS app: Air Display
This extends your screen by putting the spillover onto an iPad.
Adobe Nav
Desktop app: Photoshop by Adobe
iOS app: Adobe Nav
This allows you to select and configure tools while using Photoshop.
VirtualDJ Remote
Desktop app: VirtualDJ by Atomix
iOS app: VirtualDJ Remote
Basically just a copy of what’s on the screen, little extra value.
TouchOSC
Desktop app: Gimp, Traktor, Ableton, Logic Pro, Reaper, any other digital music app
iOS app: TouchOSC
A generic controller app where you can design your own interface or download templates. The commands are sent to your desktop app as MIDI or OSC. Takes about 8 hours to set this up and run.
