Aims to make it trivial to change display settings for any display or projector connect to your Mac via a low-key and unobtrusive macOS menu bar item

What's new in Display Menu 2.2.3:

• Added access to our FAQ to Display Menu and fixed some minor issues.

For example, the 16″ MacBook Pro has multiple refresh rates available on the built-in display, including 47.95 hertz, 48 hertz, 50 hertz, 59.94 hertz, and 60 hertz. You can also change the screen resolution of Retina Macs in the same settings menu if you choose to, whether to increase text size and size of stuff on the screen or to get more. When the feature is turned on, the Menu Bar appears solid when the mouse pointer is within an active display. When you move the pointer from one display, to another, the Menu Bar on the non-active display will dim. Depending on your workflow, this may cause an issue. If this is the case you can always turn the feature back on. In a new support document, Apple has acknowledged that when an ultrawide or super-ultrawide external display is connected to a Mac with the M1 chip, some resolutions supported by the display may.

Thorsten Karrer’s Display Menu utility has been designed as a replacement for the built-in status bar display menu removed by Apple in Mac OS X Mountain Lion.

Low-key and quick resolution switcher

The Display Menu application lives in your Mac’s menu bar and, depending on your Mac’s display configuration, it will allow you to effortlessly and rapidly change your display(s) resolution with one simple mouse click.

Display Menu’s menulet will also enable you to instantly access the macOS Displays system preference pane, as well as to choose the display you want to customize from the list of recognized ones neatly organized within the app’s status bar menu.

Multi-monitor helper tool

Display Menu makes it lightning fast to switch between monitor resolutions and the fact that it can also be used to enable display mirroring on the fly, makes it a must-have utility for all the users that own a multi-display setups.

In addition, Display Menu will automatically organize the resolutions for each detected display according to their aspect ratio, thus helping you to quickly find the correct resolution for your current needs a lot faster.

Quickly and effortlessly change your screen's aspect ratio and resolution

Furthermore, using Display Menu allows you to also access your displays’ HiDPI modes and tweak their refresh rates, all via simple mouse clicks and no advanced knowledge about video settings.

All in all, the Display Menu app makes it very quickly and easily switch between your displays’ resolutions and aspect ratios via your Mac’s menu bar.

Migration from the Mac App Store

Displays was previously available on the Mac App Store, but for technical reason, the app could not live anymore on this store without breaking support for Retina resolutions.

Instead, we’re now selling license keys directly from our webstore. All people having bought Displays on the Mac App Store are eligible to a free license key.

Download our Migration Assistant to request your key

Click on Displays icon in the upper-right corner of your screen and choose your monitor resolution among all supported resolutions. Displays is listing even resolutions hidden by macOS.

Displays supports all active monitors attached to your Mac, including AirPlay monitor. With one click, you can enable or disable mirroring mode.

To easily identify a resolution, you can set a custom label instead of resolution width/height and you may choose or not to group Retina resolutions, and even hide too-small resolutions.

Light at night is part of the reason so many people don’t get enough sleep. When night is coming, you can enable a night mode to rest your eyes and avoid unwanted effects of lights, especially blue light.

With just one click, or with a keyboard shortcut, you can switch to macOS Dark theme, lower screen brightness, reduce blue light emitted by your display, enable grayscale mode or even set another wallpaper. If your screen does not support brightness control, Displays will simulate screen dimming.

And night mode can be scheduled, either in a user-defined period or based on sunset/sunrise. You can even automatically switch to night mode when you launch any app of your choice!

With Displays, you can take screenshots easily, either entire screen, specific area or a window. Many options are offered like timer, presets, mouse pointer, window shadow…

Use our various tools to annotate your screenshot: free drawing, rectangle, polygon, star, arrow, speech bubble, text… Another useful tool allows you to pixellate or blur some sensitive part of your screenshot.

Sharing screenshots has never been easier. Displays supports many cloud services where you can upload your screenshot and obtain a share link: Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, pCloud, FTP and SFTP.

You’re doing presentations like app demonstration or Powerpoint? Displays can act like a virtual laser pointer to grab your audience’s attention on what you’re doing.

Entire screen will be dimmed, except the part where your mouse cursor sits and mouse clicks will also be visually highlighted. Everything is customizable: circle or rectangular shape, screen color, opacity, highlight radius, play sound, differentiate left and right mouse clicks…

When one of your external monitor is in another room or not directly visible, it’s hard to see what is displayed on it. The same happened when you’re doing a Powerpoint presentation and the slides are behind you. That’s why we implemented Picture-in-Picture (PiP) for monitors.

Displays can enable a PiP overlay, that reflects the secondary screen content in real-time. And for sure, PiP can be enabled for more than one monitor at a time.

Do you need to hide temporarily the mess on your desktop? With one click or through a customizable keyboard shortcut, you can quickly hide all your desktop icons, without loosing essential features of your desktop like drag & drop or contextual menu.
