macOS Command Line

• BetterDisplay

  200 15,979 8.6

  Unlock your displays on your Mac! Flexible HiDPI scaling, XDR/HDR extra brightness, virtual screens, DDC control, extra dimming, PIP/streaming, EDID override and lots more!

BetterDisplay can get you supersampling on <4K monitors. I run a 4K monitor as my main display that did this out of the box with macOS, but I have side 1440p monitors that didn't. This fixed it: https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay

• awesome-macos-command-line

  1 25,588 1.4

  Discontinued Use your macOS terminal shell to do awesome things.

If you were similarly curious about the mention of "GitHub stars" in the text hosted on their own cgit, this appears to be the back-story: https://github.com/herrbischoff/awesome-macos-command-line

• Lunar

  192 4,356 9.0 Swift

  Intelligent adaptive brightness for your external monitors

Users of my monitor control app (https://lunar.fyi/) feel overwhelmed with the information I provide on the website and in little help hints placed in the app near each setting.

If an app has this effect, I can't even imagine what an OS manual would feel like in these days.

I wish I could provide a proper manual but I can barely keep up with updating the app website with the rate of change in technologies. A major OS upgrade would need an army of writers to update manual on time.

Not that I wouldn't love it. It would be tremendously useful to have a PDF where I can Cmd-F obscure tidbits which I often need in building MacOS apps.

I just think it's impractical given the complexity of software in this age.

• yabai

  218 21,468 9.6 C

  A tiling window manager for macOS based on binary space partitioning

Yabai (https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai) with SIP disabled is the only way to do that nowadays.

I personally gave up on Spaces completely because of this. Now I just have everything on a single space, and move through apps instantly using my rcmd app (https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd)

• plistwatch

  2 132 0.0 Go

For mapping UI preferences to corresponding plist keys, https://github.com/catilac/plistwatch will monitor and output real-time changes. May be easier than diffing snapshots of `defaults read`.

This doesn't help with "secret" settings that aren't exposed through the UI, but can be handy for creating setup scripts.
