Where Does DisplayBuddy Store Settings?
DisplayBuddy keeps monitor presets and hotkeys in Application Support, with toggles in the preferences plist beside them.
Last updated
DisplayBuddy splits monitor control across two spots. Presets, DDC mappings, and hotkeys live in Application Support under its own folder. Toggles duplicate into the standard preferences plist.
Monitor identity complicates moves. Presets bind to display hardware, so a new monitor arrangement needs remapping even with perfect file copies. Confirm exact names on your install before scripting backups, and keep both trees for complete migrations.
Where DisplayBuddy stores this, by platform
~/Library/Application Support/DisplayBuddy
Presets and hotkeys in the support folder. Copy it with the app closed. Confirm the folder name on your version first.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move DisplayBuddy settings to a new Mac?
Copy the DisplayBuddy folder to the same Application Support path with the app closed. Presets and hotkeys travel together. Reconnect monitors in the same arrangement so presets match.
Which DisplayBuddy files matter for backup?
Confirm the exact folder and domain on your install, since major versions reorganize both. The support folder carries presets while the plist carries toggles, so take both.
