Current build

Download LinkLite 0.3.17

Updated 14 November 2026. This is a notarized beta, not a 1.0 release.

The file is a Developer ID disk image for Apple silicon. Intel Macs are not supported, and the app will not run there. Quit DisplayLink Manager before you open it. Only one app can drive the dock.

Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple silicon, and a USB 3 (5 Gbps) link to the dock. Gatekeeper should accept the disk image without a right-click Open. If it does not, do not bypass Gatekeeper. Download the file again from this page.

Source for this build is commit 1ab7312. The GitHub release also has the corresponding source archive. Install the disk image, not the source archive. A build you compile yourself is a different app to macOS, so the Screen Recording grant does not carry over.

Install

Quit DisplayLink Manager from its menu-bar icon.
Open the disk image and drag LinkLite into Applications.
Open LinkLite and allow Screen & System Audio Recording when macOS asks. Why that permission exists.
Quit LinkLite and reopen it from the menu-bar icon. The monitors should light within a few seconds.
Optional: turn on Open at Login from the menu-bar icon. That is a normal login item, not a login-window agent.

0.3.17 has not been re-qualified on a dock after the 0.3.7 engine changes. A Humanscale M/Connect 2 with two 4K monitors was tested on an earlier build. Other docks are not certified. If you try one, file a dock report, whether it worked or not.

After it is installed

LinkLite checks GitHub for updates when it starts, and once a day after that. It asks before installing. You can turn automatic checks off in the menu-bar panel. What those requests send.
