Tiny macOS utility that mirrors an external monitor in a resizable window
- jer0me 1y agoNeat! This would be cool as a menu bar application that shows up when it detects an external display, sort of like a rear-view mirror for my Mac. I wonder if it would be possible to move things around inside it with the accessibility APIs that window managers use.
- moi2388 1y agoCan it also just be an extended second display instead of just mirroring? Would be cool
- Aaron2222 1y agoAs in creating a virtual display and mirroring that into a window (instead of mirroring an existing display)? There was an HN post[0] about a piece of software called DeskPad about 8 months ago that does exactly that. BetterDisplay can also do both, as well as a truckload of other things (some free, some paid). [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41800602 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41800602
- moi2388 1y agoCool, thanks!
- rahimnathwani 1y agoUse a dummy HDMI adapter?
- Pwntastic 1y agoseems like an app like BetterDisplay would be more suited to that
- ehutch79 1y agoSome screenshots or something would help. The video that is on the site, but buried, doesn't seem to show anything.
- tabarnacle 1y agoThe video shows exactly what the tool does… far from buried, it’s explicitly labeled “what”.
