DisplayHelp 0.6.0 (88)

Released 2026-09-20. macOS 14 or later; universal Apple Silicon and Intel installer.

Changes

  • Full and layout-only profiles, two favorite templates, and app-local Command–Option–1/2 shortcuts.
  • Numbered screen layout with combined mirrored labels, rotation/main indicators and aligned placement.
  • One 20-second Keep/Revert window, verified hardware readback and rollback on normal Quit.
  • Profile backup/recovery, safer preference persistence, unique DDC/EDID identity matching and Copy Diagnostics.
  • Polished spacing and progress messages, updated documentation and screenshots.
  • Underscan trials now capture a full snapshot so Revert restores the previous underscan value.

Validation

Check Result
Automated tests 123 passed, zero failures
Release architectures arm64 and x86_64 verified with lipo
Version metadata 0.6.0, build 88
App signature Developer ID Application; strict/deep verification passed
Installer signature Developer ID Installer with trusted timestamp
Apple notarization Accepted; ticket stapled and validated
Gatekeeper Accepted, Notarized Developer ID
Live display checks 16 passed on Samsung external and built-in Mac display

The live checks exercised production views and display control code using isolated preferences, before the final
UI polish and underscan fix. They covered full/layout capture, favorites, refresh readback, timed revert,
Extend/Keep, right/center placement and revert, 90° rotation and revert, applying a saved layout, mirror/mode
restoration and a final exact baseline comparison. The installed application was not replaced by this test.
The original mirror group, main display, modes, rotation, positions, built-in brightness and audio were restored.

External DDC brightness/contrast/volume and underscan were unavailable on this connection and were not physically
verified. Underscan Keep/Revert is covered by a simulated regression. Intel was built, not run on physical Intel
hardware. A disconnected display, unavailable mode, forced quit, crash or power loss can prevent recovery.

Screenshots and assets

Current screenshot gallery includes native production UI captures rendered with sample
displays and profiles, labeled as fixtures. Screen boxes show geometry, not live desktop contents. Earlier
0.5.1/0.5.2 captures remain labeled historical references.

Both repositories publish the same signed installer, Word/PDF user guides, Custom Fixes examples, current
screenshot archive and SHA-256 checksums. Existing profiles remain compatible; their default scope is full setup.
The public repository contains documentation and helper scripts; application source remains private.
