Yes. FruitConnect streams the screen of a Mac you already own to your Quest — it is not a standalone desktop. There is no Windows or PC version. You install a small free companion app on the Mac and pair the two once.
You need an Apple Silicon Mac — M1 or newer — running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Intel Macs are not supported; the companion app cannot start on them.
Quest 2, Quest Pro, Quest 3 and Quest 3S.
Free gives you 30 minutes of streaming per day — over your local Wi-Fi, or over the internet from most networks — and the allowance resets every 24 hours. Every connection is encrypted and peer-to-peer on every plan. Pro removes the time limit. FruitConnect AI 1x and AI 3x also remove the time limit and add the built-in assistant — AI 3x with three times the assistant capacity. All plans are sold through the Meta Store; see the AI & Plans page in the Quest app (Settings → Account).
The first-run guide on your Mac asks for three permissions:
Then come three optional steps: the Meeting Audio Device (a virtual microphone for Zoom and Teams — macOS asks for your administrator password once), Mac Microphone Access (only needed to talk to guests through the Mac's own microphone), and Dictation (an 874 MB speech model). The headset asks separately for its own microphone the first time you open the app — it is used for voice chat, dictation and the assistant, and allowing it does not switch it on.
Everything can be changed later in System Settings → Privacy & Security or from the menu bar. Your screen goes directly to your Quest and is never sent to our servers — the one exception is FruitConnect AI: when you ask it about your screen and have allowed it to look, a screenshot goes through our server to the AI provider (see the privacy policy).
Search for FruitConnect in the Meta Store on your Quest headset or in the Meta Horizon app on your phone. Install it, open it, and it will be ready to connect to your Mac.
Yes. Press the microphone key on FruitConnect's own keyboard — the Keyboard Panel in 2D (Floating Island → Input → Keyboard Panel) or the keyboard in Full VR — or Dictate in the edit bubble, and speak; the words land in whatever field is focused on your Mac. (The microphone on Meta's system keyboard is Meta's own voice typing.)
The first time, your Mac downloads a speech model (874 MB). After that your speech is turned into text on your Mac, not on our servers — if the model can't run, macOS's own speech recognition steps in (see the privacy policy). English and Danish are built in (the key shows EN or DA), and a soft ding confirms each phrase.
It lights up only when your Mac can really dictate. Tap the greyed-out key and choose Install (874 MB), or use Set up dictation… in the Mac's menu bar or the first-run guide. Keep the Mac app up to date: from version 3.63.1452 it checks that the speech engine actually starts and repairs it by itself.
Yes. You can open a second Mac in a parallel session and keep both on screen at once — your home Mac and your work Mac side by side. Two parallel sessions is the maximum.
That is about two separate Macs. If what you want is several screens from one Mac, that is a different feature with its own limit — see Screens & windows below.
Yes. A friend pairs their own Quest with your Mac using a 6-digit code or QR scan, and you approve every connection — full control, view-only, or deny. Only one person controls the Mac at a time; everyone else watches. Voice chat is included, microphones start muted, and you can mute, hand over control or remove a guest at any point.
Privacy Mode turns your Mac's screens dark while you work in the headset, and switches itself on the first time you connect over USB or Wi-Fi. Screens whose brightness macOS itself cannot control — often third-party monitors — are not dimmed and can still show your Mac's content.
Yes. FruitConnect can install a virtual microphone so meeting apps hear your headset and your guests. It is optional and only needs installing once — macOS will ask for your administrator password, and Mac audio pauses for a second or two during the install. You can skip it and add it later from the menu bar.
Yes — anything that plays on your Mac plays on its panel in the headset, and you can size it as large as you like. Note that some streaming services block screen capture of protected video, so a title that refuses to appear in a normal screen recording will not appear here either.
Your Mac's screen in a virtual room — a beach, a cinema, a terrace — instead of a flat panel in your home space. Walk and turn with the controller thumbsticks (with your hands you can point, pinch and open the menu, but walking and turning need the controllers), hang your windows where you want them, and step back out to the 2D panel whenever you like. Full VR has its own comfort settings (snap or smooth turning) and a short walkthrough the first time.
Yes. In the 2D panel your hands work as they do everywhere in Horizon. In Full VR, point and pinch to click, pinch and drag to drag, hold the pinch for about half a second to right-click, and pinch on empty space to open the menu. In the Full VR menu, Controller keys → Hands shows the gestures and lets you adjust the hold times or remap each hand's pinch. Walking and turning still need the controllers — pick them up at any time and they take over.
Yes, in Full VR: open the menu (press B, or pinch on empty space) and choose Controller keys. Every button except the Meta button can become click, right-click, middle-click, menu, jump, a Mac shortcut and more; choose snap or smooth turning; set the hold times for right-click and the edit bubble (they apply in the 2D panel too); and save up to three presets. One button always keeps Click and one keeps the menu, so you can't lock yourself out. Hands have their own tab.
Press the camera button with the small Quest badge (Headset shot) in the floating toolbox. It captures what you see in the headset, saves a copy to the Quest gallery and puts it on the clipboard — and with Clipboard Sync switched on (Settings → Connection) it lands on your Mac's clipboard, ready to paste.
An assistant inside the headset that can look at your Mac's screen and do the clicking and typing for you — only when you ask, and only with the permissions you allow.
Your voice is turned into text on your Mac. The text of your request, the earlier messages in that conversation and — only if you have allowed See the screen and the request is about the screen — a screenshot go from your Mac through our server, which does not keep them, to the AI provider (Anthropic), which processes them under its commercial terms. Nothing is sent while you are not using it, and your conversations stay on your Mac until you delete them.
It needs an AI plan — see the AI & Plans page in the Quest app (Settings → Account), and the privacy policy for the details.
Yes. Alongside your Mac's real screen you can add extra virtual screens from inside the headset. Point at the small pill at the top of the panel to bring down the Floating Island (the top menu): the blue button with the white + (left of the Main tab) adds a screen as its own floating window, and the green button with the + at the end of the tab row adds it as a tab. In the floating toolbox, +Display does the same job.
Each screen behaves like a real display to macOS, so windows and full-screen apps work normally, and you can arrange them around you.
The Floating Island has two separate buttons, so there is nothing to switch: the blue + always opens a new screen as its own floating window, and the green + always adds a tab. To pop out a tab you already have, press the small blue ball on that tab.
In the floating toolbox, +Display follows a mode shown by its colour — blue = window, green = tab (it then reads +Tab). Hover it and press the round / button at the end of the row to change the mode.
Yes — that is App Pop. Press the orange button (far left of the Floating Island, or in the floating toolbox), then press Float next to the window you want. It gives you one Mac window as its own panel.
Three things it needs: your Quest and Mac must be on the same local network (App Pop is not available over the internet — extra screens are), you must be the one controlling the Mac rather than a view-only guest, and the Mac app must be version 3.63.192 or newer.
A window with a fixed size that cannot fill a panel is left out of the list rather than shown as an entry that does nothing.
Three streams at a time: screens popped out as their own windows and App Pop windows share that budget — tabs don't count — so three popped-out screens leave no room for a floated window until you close one.
The limit comes from your Mac's video encoder, not from your licence. When the budget is full, the Float buttons in the App Pop list turn grey; close a screen or a window and they come back.
Both your Mac and Quest need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. A few things to check:
Remote connection uses a one-time pairing:
One difference to know about: extra screens work the same way over the internet, but App Pop — floating a single app window — needs your Quest and Mac on the same local network.
A few things that commonly help:
All plans — Pro, AI 1x and AI 3x — are sold through the Meta Store, so Meta handles billing, cancellation and refunds: manage the subscription from your Meta account. If it lapses, FruitConnect returns to the free plan the next time the Quest app checks your plan (when it opens).
On the Mac: menu bar → Reset & Uninstall → Uninstall everything… removes the app and everything it installed, including the speech model and the meeting audio device. On the Quest: uninstall it from your library as usual. The only thing sent is an anonymous “+1” with the app version — plus a reason, only if you choose to send one.
The free plan includes 30 minutes of streaming per day, and the allowance resets every 24 hours. For unlimited use, upgrade to Pro. Organization is currently in early access — get in touch if you want to join.
Organization is in early access — this is how it works once you're onboarded. Your admin sends you a personal activation code. Click the FruitConnect icon in your Mac's menu bar, choose Activate a license, paste the code into Activation code and press Activate. Your Mac is activated immediately — one code per Mac.
Each member of your organization gets their own activation code — one per Mac. If someone switches to a new Mac, your admin can revoke the old code and issue a new one.
A Mac licence key or Organization code is checked online every 60 minutes; a Pro or AI plan from the Meta Store is checked with Meta each time the Quest app opens. If the check can't get through, a Meta Store plan keeps working for 7 days after its last successful check, and a Mac licence key until 7 days after its paid-up expiry date. After that it falls back to the free plan until it can reconnect.
Reconnect to the internet and reopen FruitConnect — your plan comes back by itself.
Pro is fully available today. Organization and Enterprise are in early stages — we're shaping pricing and features with our first customers. Reach out via the contact form to join early access or the pilot program.
