SwitchResX

SwitchResX is a super handy macOS app that gives you full control over your Mac’s monitor and its resolutions. Whether you're using a MacBook Retina display, a Cinema Display, or even your TV, this app helps you manage the resolution like a pro.

Easy Resolution Management

With SwitchResX, changing your Mac’s display resolution is a breeze! The app can automatically switch your screen settings based on what you're doing. So, if you're watching a DVD or an HD movie, it matches your Mac to your TV’s resolution for the best viewing experience.

Customize Your Experience

You can set up SwitchResX to change to HD-TV resolution when you start watching movies or drop down to standard projector settings when using apps like Apple Keynote or Microsoft PowerPoint. This means no more fiddling with settings every time you switch tasks!

Status Bar Convenience

The status bar and contextual menu make it easy to access different resolutions and adjust screen settings based on the displays you’re connected to. Plus, if you want that cool mirrored effect, you can mirror your screen both vertically and horizontally!

Control Panel Flexibility

The control panel lets you tweak your screen resolution and how all your apps show their content on one or multiple screens. You can manage several displays at once with just a couple of clicks—super simple!

Create Custom Layouts

SwitchResX also allows you to create custom desktop layouts so you can rearrange icons easily. You can switch between resolutions with just one keystroke! Want to link screens to keyboard shortcuts or AppleScript? No problem!

Name Your Resolutions

You can even rename different resolutions with names that make sense for what you're doing—like “presentation,” “movie,” “documents,” or “gaming.” Organizing everything into neat grids helps keep things tidy too.

In short, SwitchResX is an easy-to-use macOS application designed for managing display resolutions effortlessly while automating changes between apps.
