A shell script that enables HiDPI (Retina-style) display scaling on macOS by injecting custom resolution overrides into the system. It includes a restore script to revert changes if the system becomes unstable.
Use cases
- enable hidpi scaling on a non-retina mac display
- add custom scaled resolutions to an external 4k monitor on macos
- make text look sharper on a high resolution display in os x
- force retina mode on an unsupported monitor
- restore original display settings after a bad hidpi patch
When to choose
- you want to enable HiDPI/Retina scaling on a display macOS doesn't offer it for
- you need custom scaled resolutions on external or built-in monitors
- you prefer a scriptable, reversible patch with a restore option
When to avoid
- you are on a modern macOS version where SIP and system changes may block the patch
- you are uncomfortable booting into single-user mode to restore settings
- you need a GUI tool rather than a terminal script
