## What it is
A menu bar utility for macOS that lets Retina Mac users select higher, officially unsupported display resolutions, including HiDPI modes. It runs from the menu bar and can be added to Login Items for automatic startup.

## Use cases
- set retina macbook to higher unsupported resolution
- enable hidpi 2x resolution modes on mac
- change screen resolution from mac menu bar
- get more desktop space on retina display
- unlock 3360x2100 resolution on macbook pro

## When to choose
- you have a Retina Mac and want resolutions beyond Apple's supported maximum
- you want a lightweight menu bar tool for quick resolution switching
- you need HiDPI (2x pixel density) modes not exposed by System Preferences

## When to avoid
- you are on Linux, Windows, or non-Retina hardware
- you need scripted or command-line display configuration
- you require a maintained, licensed project with active development
