Crisp puts the missing Mac display controls in the menu bar

Why it surfaced

It targets a familiar hardware annoyance—blurry scaling, dead brightness keys, and monitors treated as second-class citizens—with a substantial set of controls in one panel. The site also makes unusually clear promises about its MIT license, signed and notarized releases, no Pro tier, and support through GitHub Sponsors, Ko-fi, and 爱发电.

Crisp is a free, open-source macOS utility for external-monitor brightness, HiDPI scaling, presets, arrangements, virtual displays, and other display controls.
