It provides menu-bar controls for users working with external monitors, multiple displays, scaled interfaces and specialized presentation or remote-access setups.\n\n## Features and license boundaries\n- Change display resolution, brightness, refresh rate and rotation through menu-bar controls, where supported.\n- Use DDC or supported network-device controls for monitor brightness, volume and input selection; HDMI-CEC support depends on compatible connections.\n- Arrange displays visually, configure display groups and access display diagnostics.\n- Pro enables flexible HiDPI scaling, advanced image filters and custom 3D LUTs, plus supported XDR\u002FHDR brightness expansion.\n- Pro features include advanced virtual screens, display connection management, configuration protection and picture-in-picture or selected-window streaming.\n- Automation includes a built-in console, CLI and Shortcuts; advanced integration and per-display command execution require Pro.\n\nNot every menu item is free or available on every monitor. Consult the official free\u002FPro comparison before relying on a feature.\n\n## Installation and first use\nInstall `brew install --cask betterdisplay`, or download the official DMG appropriate for your macOS version and drag BetterDisplay.app to Applications. Launch it and open its menu-bar icon; Settings contains explanations for individual controls. Start with ordinary brightness and resolution controls, then configure more advanced features only when supported by your hardware. Grant requested macOS permissions for the features you choose, such as screen capture\u002Fstreaming. Homebrew also installs a betterdisplaycli command wrapper; a separate CLI package is not a prerequisite for basic use.\n\n## System requirements and platforms\nBetterDisplay 5.1.1 supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 26.3 or later according to its official release record and current README. The publisher also documents macOS 27 compatibility. Older macOS systems should use the appropriate older app line: BetterDisplay 4 for macOS 13.2 and newer, 2.3.9 for macOS 12.4 and newer, and 1.4.15 for older supported systems. Homebrew's macOS-specific variations select older versions on Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura, Sonoma and Sequoia. These variants do not mean version 5.1.1 runs on those older systems.\n\nThis is a macOS application, with no official Windows or Linux build listed. The cask declares no additional formula dependency. A compatible physical display and connection are needed for hardware controls; DDC, HDMI-CEC, HDR, XDR and color-format features depend on the Mac, cable, monitor and OS. The app cannot guarantee every display capability. No fixed RAM or installed-storage minimum was confirmed in the retrieved official requirements. The universal 5.1.1 DMG download is 29,221,663 bytes, distinct from installed space.\n\n## Conflicts, safety and cleanup\nHomebrew declares no named cask conflict. Other display or brightness tools controlling the same display can produce competing settings; test controls separately if adjustments behave unexpectedly. Some OSD tools deliberately integrate with BetterDisplay, so their presence alone does not establish a conflict. A manual BetterDisplay.app installation can occupy the same Applications path.\n\nVersion 5.0.6 adds protections for disconnecting the built-in display on affected base M3 MacBooks and for color-table adjustments with custom profiles. Overriding those safeguards may require a restart to recover a disconnected screen or expose a macOS black-screen issue. Read the app's warnings rather than assuming all overrides are safe for your setup. Optional Homebrew zap removes BetterDisplay\u002FBetterDummy support data, preferences and caches; preserve settings you need first.\n\n## Accounts, price and license\nBetterDisplay is proprietary software, not an open-source application simply because releases and issue tracking are hosted on GitHub. Many features are free for non-business use. The official current release states that business use beyond the trial requires a license. A 14-day trial enables Pro features. Pro is a paid perpetual license rather than a subscription, with at least one year of updates including major upgrades released during that coverage period. Checkout price, currency and taxes may vary; use the official purchase page for the current total.\n\nBetterDisplay 5 is a free upgrade for Pro licenses bought on or after January 1, 2025. Built-in upgrades preserve an existing activation with an older license but show an outdated-license notice. Such a license cannot activate a new or deactivated version 5 installation: do not deactivate an existing installation if you intend to retain that activation. Purchasing and activation are separate from merely installing the app; review the upgrade FAQ for your license.\n\n## Official references\n- [README, feature comparison links and compatibility](https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fwaydabber\u002FBetterDisplay)\n- [Official guide](https:\u002F\u002Fbetterdisplay.pro\u002Fguide\u002F)\n- [Free and Pro comparison](https:\u002F\u002Fbetterdisplay.pro\u002Fguide\u002Flicensing\u002Ffree-and-pro-features\u002F)\n- [Version 5 upgrade FAQ](https:\u002F\u002Fbetterdisplay.pro\u002Fguide\u002Flicensing\u002Fv5-upgrade-faq\u002F)\n- [License terms and privacy policy](https:\u002F\u002Fbetterdisplay.pro\u002Flicense\u002F)\n- [Official releases](https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fwaydabber\u002FBetterDisplay\u002Freleases)\n","Display management tool","Kodeon Software \u002F waydabber","533ce08c91a02e0fdca2bc0e461404968ab18d32bbd9fd3314218e1a8d51c1de",29221663,"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fwaydabber\u002FBetterDisplay\u002Freleases\u002Fdownload\u002Fv5.1.1\u002FBetterDisplay-v5.1.1.dmg","https:\u002F\u002Fformulae.brew.sh\u002Fcask\u002Fbetterdisplay","https:\u002F\u002Fbetterdisplay.pro\u002F","https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.opennavo.com\u002Ficons\u002Fuploads\u002Fc8ab5c259e1f\u002F872d50d0c7af-256.png","brew install --cask betterdisplay",{"d30":80,"d365":81,"d90":82},5612,90435,23116,"cask",{"bodyMarkdown":85,"brewCommittedAt":86,"hasNotes":50,"id":87,"isLatest":50,"isPrerelease":54,"machineTranslated":54,"publishedAt":88,"sections":89,"source":107,"sourceLocale":108,"summary":109,"title":110,"translation":111,"version":113},"# BetterDisplay 5.1.1\n\nImproves wake recovery, brightness and audio controls, picture-in-picture placement and in-app help, with macOS 27.2 OSD compatibility.\n\n## Controls\n- Improve native USB audio response and volume feedback routing.\n- Reduce delays and Control Center interference for brightness\u002Fvolume keys.\n- Add the rounded segmented OSD for macOS27.2.\n\n## Recovery\n- Fix brightness jumps and lingering Control Center OSD after wake.\n- Restore the built-in screen after an external display is unplugged asleep.\n- Fix PIP position drift and rounded corners after layout changes.\n\n## Interface\n- Add guide links and contextual help in Settings.\n- Improve licensing network-error explanations and update Sparkle.\n\nThe publisher identifies macOS27.2 as beta in this release record.

Kodeon Software's macOS display-management application, developed by waydabber. It provides menu-bar controls for users working with external monitors, multiple displays, scaled interfaces and specialized presentation or remote-access setups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 class=\"on-md-heading-1\">Features and license boundaries\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>Change display resolution, brightness, refresh rate and rotation through menu-bar controls, where supported.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Use DDC or supported network-device controls for monitor brightness, volume and input selection; HDMI-CEC support depends on compatible connections.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Arrange displays visually, configure display groups and access display diagnostics.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Pro enables flexible HiDPI scaling, advanced image filters and custom 3D LUTs, plus supported XDR\u002FHDR brightness expansion.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Pro features include advanced virtual screens, display connection management, configuration protection and picture-in-picture or selected-window streaming.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Automation includes a built-in console, CLI and Shortcuts; advanced integration and per-display command execution require Pro.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Cp>Not every menu item is free or available on every monitor. Consult the official free\u002FPro comparison before relying on a feature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 class=\"on-md-heading-1\">Installation and first use\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Install \u003Ccode>brew install --cask betterdisplay\u003C\u002Fcode>, or download the official DMG appropriate for your macOS version and drag BetterDisplay.app to Applications. Launch it and open its menu-bar icon; Settings contains explanations for individual controls. Start with ordinary brightness and resolution controls, then configure more advanced features only when supported by your hardware. Grant requested macOS permissions for the features you choose, such as screen capture\u002Fstreaming. Homebrew also installs a betterdisplaycli command wrapper; a separate CLI package is not a prerequisite for basic use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 class=\"on-md-heading-1\">System requirements and platforms\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>BetterDisplay 5.1.1 supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 26.3 or later according to its official release record and current README. The publisher also documents macOS 27 compatibility. Older macOS systems should use the appropriate older app line: BetterDisplay 4 for macOS 13.2 and newer, 2.3.9 for macOS 12.4 and newer, and 1.4.15 for older supported systems. Homebrew's macOS-specific variations select older versions on Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura, Sonoma and Sequoia. These variants do not mean version 5.1.1 runs on those older systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a macOS application, with no official Windows or Linux build listed. The cask declares no additional formula dependency. A compatible physical display and connection are needed for hardware controls; DDC, HDMI-CEC, HDR, XDR and color-format features depend on the Mac, cable, monitor and OS. The app cannot guarantee every display capability. No fixed RAM or installed-storage minimum was confirmed in the retrieved official requirements. The universal 5.1.1 DMG download is 29,221,663 bytes, distinct from installed space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 class=\"on-md-heading-1\">Conflicts, safety and cleanup\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Homebrew declares no named cask conflict. Other display or brightness tools controlling the same display can produce competing settings; test controls separately if adjustments behave unexpectedly. Some OSD tools deliberately integrate with BetterDisplay, so their presence alone does not establish a conflict. A manual BetterDisplay.app installation can occupy the same Applications path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Version 5.0.6 adds protections for disconnecting the built-in display on affected base M3 MacBooks and for color-table adjustments with custom profiles. Overriding those safeguards may require a restart to recover a disconnected screen or expose a macOS black-screen issue. Read the app's warnings rather than assuming all overrides are safe for your setup. Optional Homebrew zap removes BetterDisplay\u002FBetterDummy support data, preferences and caches; preserve settings you need first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 class=\"on-md-heading-1\">Accounts, price and license\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>BetterDisplay is proprietary software, not an open-source application simply because releases and issue tracking are hosted on GitHub. Many features are free for non-business use. The official current release states that business use beyond the trial requires a license. A 14-day trial enables Pro features. Pro is a paid perpetual license rather than a subscription, with at least one year of updates including major upgrades released during that coverage period. Checkout price, currency and taxes may vary; use the official purchase page for the current total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BetterDisplay 5 is a free upgrade for Pro licenses bought on or after January 1, 2025. Built-in upgrades preserve an existing activation with an older license but show an outdated-license notice. Such a license cannot activate a new or deactivated version 5 installation: do not deactivate an existing installation if you intend to retain that activation. Purchasing and activation are separate from merely installing the app; review the upgrade FAQ for your license.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 class=\"on-md-heading-1\">Official references\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fwaydabber\u002FBetterDisplay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">README, feature comparison links and compatibility\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fbetterdisplay.pro\u002Fguide\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Official guide\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fbetterdisplay.pro\u002Fguide\u002Flicensing\u002Ffree-and-pro-features\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Free and Pro comparison\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fbetterdisplay.pro\u002Fguide\u002Flicensing\u002Fv5-upgrade-faq\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Version 5 upgrade FAQ\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fbetterdisplay.pro\u002Flicense\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">License terms and privacy policy\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fwaydabber\u002FBetterDisplay\u002Freleases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Official releases\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n"]
