Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A macOS utility that masks damaged parts of a MacBook display and keeps windows, menus, full-screen apps, and the pointer on the working glass.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

Field notes

CrackMac uses user-defined display boundaries to keep supported windows, menus, dialogs, and optionally the pointer away from damaged screen bands. It redraws the Apple and application menus inside the usable area rather than relying on macOS to move them. The page describes four independently adjustable edges, per-display settings that survive resolution changes, full-screen redirection, and a command-search shortcut. It targets macOS 13 or later, with a stated one-time price of $24.99.
