one-key-hidpi is a simple script designed to enable HiDPI (Retina) display settings on macOS with just a single command. By default, macOS only offers HiDPI scaling for supported displays, leaving many monitors without optimal scaling options. This project provides a quick solution by patching macOS settings to unlock HiDPI modes, allowing users to enjoy sharper text and better UI scaling on non-Retina monitors. It supports both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, ensuring broad compatibility across macOS versions. The script also includes options to disable HiDPI if needed, making it easy to revert changes. With its straightforward usage and lightweight approach, one-key-hidpi is especially useful for developers, designers, and anyone looking to improve display clarity on external monitors connected to macOS devices.
