RDM

RDM is a system utility for macOS designed to unlock and apply unsupported screen resolutions. It functions as a display resolution manager that enables users to set their screens to high-density resolutions not natively available in standard system settings.

The tool specifically manages Retina display scaling by enabling high-density pixel modes. This ensures the user interface remains sharp while increasing the usable workspace through the use of custom resolution overrides.

These capabilities are provided via a menu bar interface that interacts with low-level system frameworks to modify hardware resolution settings and bypass native system preference limitations.

Features

  • Unsupported Resolution Unlocks - Unlocks and applies high resolutions that are not supported by default in macOS system settings.
  • macOS Display Layout Managers - Provides a manager for setting macOS displays to high-density resolutions not natively supported.
  • Window Server Configurations - Modifies hardware resolution settings by communicating directly with the macOS window server and drivers.
  • Native Resolution Overrides - Allows users to change the screen resolution to values higher than those natively supported.
  • CoreGraphics Framework Integrations - Interacts with low-level CoreGraphics frameworks to request custom display modes and pixel densities.
  • HiDPI Enablers - Unlocks high-density scaling modes on displays to ensure the interface remains sharp.
  • Resolution Scaling Tools - Enables high-density pixel modes to keep the interface sharp at increased resolutions.
  • Display Scaling - Adjusts high-density pixel modes on Mac screens to maintain visual sharpness at custom resolutions.
  • High-DPI Scaling - Implements high-DPI scaling to maintain interface sharpness while increasing usable workspace.
  • Resolution Limit Overrides - Bypasses standard macOS system settings to apply resolution values not natively listed.
  • macOS Utilities - Functions as a specialized system utility designed for the macOS environment.
  • Display Configuration Managers - Manages monitor resolution and configuration to increase the usable workspace on Mac hardware.
  • macOS Display Customizations - Overrides default display limits to enable unsupported resolutions via a menu bar interface.
  • Menu Bar Utilities - Provides a persistent menu bar interface for quick access to resolution change triggers.
  • Developer Utilities - Sets unsupported Retina display resolutions.
  • System Utilities - Set unsupported Retina display resolutions.

    This project is a macOS utility designed to enable high-density scaling on non-Retina monitors. It functions as a display override manager and HiDPI enabler that modifies how the operating system perceives monitor hardware to unlock native high-resolution scaling options within system settings. The tool achieves this by patching and injecting Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) into the system registry. It utilizes a system of file-based overrides stored in library directories to ensure that custom resolution and scaling settings persist across system reboots. Beyond scaling, the pro

    MonitorControl is a macOS display control utility and external monitor manager. It functions as a DDC/CI display controller that allows users to adjust the brightness and volume of third-party monitors using native Apple keyboard keys. The software mimics native macOS hardware feedback by implementing a system overlay tool that renders on-screen display indicators during adjustments. It further provides the ability to synchronize brightness levels across multiple screens or replicate ambient light sensor changes to external displays. The utility includes capabilities for mapping custom keybo

    Displayplacer is a command-line tool for managing multi-monitor display layouts on macOS. It enables users to save, apply, and automate screen configurations including resolution, rotation, arrangement, and mirroring settings entirely from the terminal without requiring a graphical interface. The tool identifies displays using persistent hardware IDs rather than port-based identifiers, allowing layouts to be restored consistently across reconnections and reboots. It supports headless display configuration, enabling or disabling monitors, rotating internal and external displays, and designatin
