Manage display resolutions, refresh rates, and wallpapers

Displays screenshot

Displays shows every monitor as itself: your MacBook looks like a MacBook, your Studio Display looks like a Studio Display, with a live preview of exactly what your desktop will look like before you commit. It's built for podcasters and screencasters who set the stage, hit record, and put everything back the way it was.

Arrange like it's Keynote

Drag a display and it snaps into place with alignment guides. Drop it on another to swap. Name each one so you know which is which.

Why Displays?

macOS makes you dig through System Settings every time you set up for a recording. Displays gives every monitor its own window, right on that monitor, with Apple's familiar Larger Text ⟷ More Space picker, one-click presets, and a desktop tidy-up that hides your icons and Dock and turns on Do Not Disturb, then reverts it all when you're done.
