What I wanted it to be — and what I didn't.
MacDisplay was born from one clear principle, which for me comes before everything else: your data is yours, and it must stay yours.
I collect nothing. I don't know what you do with the app, I don't know what appears on your screens, I don't record how, when or where you use it. Not because collecting that data would be hard, but because I deliberately chose not to. Your screen's signal travels only inside your home or your office, through your cable or your network. Never an external server. Never the cloud. Never an extra pair of eyes.
In an age where almost every app you install wants to know everything about you, I wanted to do the opposite. MacDisplay is designed to know as little about you as possible. Ideally, nothing.
Privacy and security aren't a feature I added: they're the foundation I built everything else on.
One thing I ask of you.
MacDisplay isn't the product of a big company with a marketing department and investors to satisfy. It's the work of one person, who wrote every line of code, tested every connection, and who will keep caring for it over time.
Every time someone chooses to support the product honestly, they give me the chance to keep improving it — to listen to feedback, take on requests, add the features users ask for, and keep it compatible and reliable over time.
MacDisplay grows with the people who use it. Your suggestions, your reports, your ideas don't vanish into a void: they end up in the next versions. That's the beauty of an app built by a person who cares, instead of an algorithm chasing numbers.
Thank you.
Thank you for putting your trust in a small project made with dedication. Thank you for choosing to turn the Macs you already own into something more, instead of buying yet another object. And thank you for being part, from the very beginning, of a story that has only just begun.
Happy working — on both screens.
