BetterDisplay Pro - Perpetual License

BetterDisplay is a display management utility for macOS developed by Kodeon Software: it sits in the menu bar and controls resolution, scaling, brightness, color and arrangement of the built-in screen and of external monitors. It is aimed at people who work with external displays, XDR and HDR screens, multi-monitor setups or headless Macs and want options that macOS itself does not offer, such as custom HiDPI resolutions, extra brightness and virtual screens. This listing is a license key for BetterDisplay Pro: the code unlocks the Pro feature set in the app downloaded from the developer's website, on top of the functions that stay free for non-business use.

This product is a perpetual license key for BetterDisplay Pro: it does not expire and can be used on 1 Mac running macOS. The key is delivered by email together with the activation instructions.

A typical setup is a MacBook with one or two external monitors: BetterDisplay adds the scaled resolutions that macOS hides and keeps arrangement and settings from being reset when a display is reconnected.

Key Features:

• Flexible HiDPI scaling: Makes the built-in screen and natively connected displays fully scalable with custom HiDPI resolutions beyond the macOS presets, also on notched and HDR screens.
• XDR/HDR brightness upscaling: Unlocks additional brightness on compatible Apple XDR displays and natively connected HDR monitors, above the level macOS normally allows.
• Brightness, volume and DDC control: Adjusts brightness, volume and input of DDC-capable external monitors from the menu bar, with sliders and keyboard shortcuts, plus software dimming down to black on any display.
• Connection management and layout protection: Disconnects and reconnects displays without unplugging them, turns off the built-in screen when an external monitor is attached on Apple silicon and protects arrangement, resolution and color profile.
• Virtual screens and picture-in-picture: Creates virtual displays with custom resolutions and aspect ratios, for example for headless Macs, and shows any display in a PIP window or streams it to another screen.
• Color, image adjustments and automation: Selects color modes and profiles, applies sharpening, geometry and color filters with custom 3D LUTs and can be scripted via command line, macOS Shortcuts and HTTP.
