Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Mac utility that turns one Mac into an external display for another over a single Thunderbolt cable.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-03 issue.

Field notes

DisplayBridge uses one identical 6 MB application on both Macs rather than separating host and viewer roles. The page describes a direct Thunderbolt connection, with the receiving Mac showing the sender’s picture while the app reports resolution, frame rate, and delay. It claims native 5K at 60 Hz on a Retina iMac, 120 Hz on a recent MacBook Pro, and support for dual 5K screens from one MacBook Pro using two cables.
