Protected video plays. The split comes back by itself.
Open a protected player and DisplayMode steps aside to the full screen. Close it and your layout returns. No menu, no shortcut.

Every screen gets its own Spaces.

Under load

Comes back on its own.
Something heavy hogs the machine? DisplayMode returns to the full screen so it doesn't add to the slowdown. When the load settles, the split is back. No click.
Running smoothly.

Built for the day, not the demo.

The menu, the settings and every message. Follows your Mac, or pick your own.
Zones: split without capture.
A second engine that arranges windows into three zones on one display. No virtual screens, no screen recording permission. Trade separate Spaces for zero capture.
Privacy
Nothing leaves your Mac.
DisplayMode draws your screens. It does not record them.
- Frames never touch disk or network.The picture goes from your Mac to your Mac. Nowhere else.
- Two permissions, each explained.Screen Recording and Accessibility, because macOS needs them to draw and to move windows. You can revoke both any time.
- One network call.Licence activation, to one server. No analytics, no telemetry.
- Read the source of every permission.A page that links each permission to the line of code that uses it.
