What is BetterDisplay?
BetterDisplay is a macOS utility app that helps users manage external and built-in displays with features such as custom resolutions, display scaling, brightness control, virtual displays, and monitor-related tweaks. People commonly install it to improve multi-monitor setups, unlock additional display options, or fine-tune screen behavior beyond what macOS provides by default.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is generally considered a legitimate display-management app. Because it changes display settings and may use background components or accessibility-related permissions for some features, removing it can reset custom monitor behavior or disable features you rely on.
Recommendation: Keep it if you actively use custom display controls, virtual display features, or external monitor adjustments. If you no longer use BetterDisplay, it is usually reasonable to remove it along with its support files after confirming you do not need its saved settings.
