Separate articles that explore this topic in more detail.

Startup and Advanced Settings & Privacy
Use these settings to decide when BetterDisplay starts, whether it sends crash reports, and how to back up or replace its configuration.
Updates
Choose how BetterDisplay looks for updates and whether you want stable releases or test versions.
Notifications and Dock
Choose how BetterDisplay gets your attention and when you want to see it in the Dock.
App Integration
App Integration lets other software work with BetterDisplay.

Start with Startup and Privacy for launch behavior and privacy choices. Updates explains release channels and installation, while Notifications and Dock covers the app's visible presence. Integration controls access from other apps.

To automate display adjustments, explore BetterDisplay's actions in macOS Shortcuts. The link beneath the Integration settings opens the Shortcuts app, where you can search for BetterDisplay actions.

Advanced settings also let you import, export or reset preferences. Read the scope and consequences of those actions before using them, particularly when replacing an existing setup.
