What this repo does

Crisp is a free macOS menu‑bar app that adds sharp HiDPI scaling, DDC brightness control, virtual displays, and other display‑management features to external monitors, effectively replacing paid tools like BetterDisplay and Lunar.

Why this was rejected

  • The repository contains a native macOS GUI application with no exposed API or web interface, making it infeasible to wrap into a hosted web product.
  • The target market is a very niche group of macOS users who need external monitor tweaks, and paid alternatives already exist.
License risk
Low· MIT

MIT license permits commercial use with minimal restrictions

Can this be fixed?

No — the core blocker cannot be resolved without fundamentally changing the project.

Alternative uses

  • A local macOS utility for display scaling and brightness control
  • An open‑source replacement for paid display‑management tools
