Open-source companion adds same-resolution virtual displays for UU Remote on Mac
lxfater · x · 2026-11-15
lxfater highlights UUyc-companion, an open-source macOS menubar app (217 stars, MIT) that fixes a missing feature in UU Remote for Mac: no virtual display like the Windows version's "super screen".
- Automatically creates a HiDPI virtual screen matching your phone/tablet's exact resolution on connect — full-screen image, no black bars, crisp text
- Optionally disables the Mac's own displays during remote sessions so the Dock and windows don't escape
- Fully restores screens, window positions and display arrangement on disconnect
- Per-device resolution settings imported from UU Remote; the author set his foldable's inner screen to 2480×2248
His takeaway: in the AI era, community-built tools ship faster than official ones — search GitHub before waiting for a vendor.
