The Take

Tucks one-click display-mode switching into the menu bar with explicit actions — 'Switch to Internal Only' and 'Restore Extended' — plus optional auto-restore and launch-at-login. Under the hood it wraps displayplacer and exposes runnable CLI actions and Raycast commands, which makes it practical and easy to integrate into a power-user workflow; the README even includes packaging/install scripts and a synthetic demo note.

Target Audience

macOS users who use external monitors (remote workers, developers, presenters) who want a fast way to toggle display modes

Post Description

When my external power connection to Monitor stops (due to some outage) Mac still extends it display. So I'd either need to unplug my hdmi or go change it to mirror from settings (which takes too much time tbh) to resume my work.

With this app I just hit Switch to Internal Only, keep working on my MacBook screen, and later click Restore Extended when everything is working again.
