  • displayplacer

    macOS command line utility to configure multi-display resolutions and arrangements. Essentially XRandR for macOS.

  • I use 2 things to fix this, DisplayPlacer which sets my monitors correctly and a framework called Phoenix for positioning my windows. I can't recommend Phoenix unless you want to write code but don't let DisplayPlacer scare you off, it's very easy to use.

  • phoenix

    A lightweight macOS window and app manager scriptable with JavaScript (by kasper)
