“I have a laptop, a Mac mini and a PC, all connected to the same screens. Every time I switched computers, I was fiddling with inputs or reaching for cables. I just wanted a simpler way to get my Mac off a screen.”
That’s why I built ScreenToggle. A small menu bar app to disconnect a display from your Mac, while leaving the cable right where it is.
Start with the essentials. Go Pro for your favourite setups.
The simple switch your Mac was missing.
For the way you work. And the way you don’t.
It virtually disconnects a display from your Mac, so macOS stops using it without you unplugging the cable. Reconnect it from your menu bar whenever you need it.
Yes, if both computers are connected to separate inputs on your monitors. ScreenToggle releases a display from your Mac. You may still need to change the monitor’s input manually; automatic input switching depends on the monitor. It does not share your keyboard or mouse.
ScreenToggle requires macOS 13 or later. Display behaviour varies by Mac, macOS version, monitor and adapter. Try the free controls with your setup before buying Pro. Mirrored displays are not supported.
Your last active display is protected. A disconnect automatically reverses unless you confirm it within 20 seconds. You can also use Reconnect All Displays; quitting ScreenToggle restores displays it disabled.
The current app is designed for direct download. A Mac App Store version is planned, but availability is not confirmed. There is no App Store listing yet.
Manual display controls are free. Pro adds three custom presets, Apple Focus integration and an Apple Shortcuts action for applying presets, for a one-time £9.99 purchase.
A little less fiddling. A little more flow.
Made for the Mac. Made for your desk.
