BestRes

BestRes is one of those handy little apps that makes using your Mac a lot easier. If you're like most people, you know the menu bar on OS X where all those neat, lightweight utilities hang out. It's pretty awesome how these little menu bar apps can really boost our productivity without getting in the way, right?

Quick Screen Resolution Changes

This is where BestRes steps in! It’s a simple and minimalist app that lets you change your Mac's screen resolution quickly—way faster than if you had to dive into the System Preferences.

How Does It Work?

You might be wondering how it works. Normally, to change your screen resolution, you'd have to go into System Preferences, click on Display, select Scaled, and then pick from the available options. Sounds like a lot of clicks! But with BestRes, you can do this in just two clicks instead of four. Pretty sweet deal!

Easy Integration

This tiny app integrates right into your OS X status bar once installed. So when you need to switch resolutions, it’s just two quick clicks away—super easy!

A Few Drawbacks

Now, while we love having small and efficient apps like this one, there's something we wish it had: a “Run on startup” option. That would make BestRes an even bigger time-saver for us.

The Bottom Line

If you're asking yourself why you might need BestRes, it's probably not for you. But if you're looking for an easy way to manage your screen resolution without hassle, then this app does its job really well! Want to give it a try? You can download BestRes here!
