Dippi

Calculate display info like DPI and aspect ratio

Analyze any display. Input a few simple details and figure out the aspect ratio, DPI, and other details of a particular display. Great for deciding which laptop or external monitor to purchase, and if it would be considered HiDPI.

Handy features:

• Find out if a display is a good choice based on its size and resolution
• Get advice about different densities
• Learn the logical resolution
• Differentiate between laptops and desktop displays
• Stupid simple: all in a cute li'l window

Based my expertise and experience shipping HiDPI hardware and software at System76 and elementary.

Tells you if a display’s density is:

• Very Low DPI,
• Fairly Low DPI,
• Ideal for LoDPI,
• Potentially Problematic,
• Ideal for HiDPI,
• Fairly High for HiDPI, or
• Too High DPI

Made for GNOME

Dippi 4 was designed and developed on and for GNOME. As such, contributors agree to abide by the GNOME Code of Conduct.

[!IMPORTANT] Dippi is on Flathub! 🎉️ Get the latest version with a refreshed design from Flathub.

If you're on elementary OS, the AppCenter version is no longer maintained or receiving updates. Install from Flathub to get the latest design and future updates.

Developing and Building

If you want to hack on and build Dippi yourself, I recommend using GNOME Builder. Clone the repository, then just* hit run!

*If you're hitting issues, try "Update project dependencies" in the top-center build menu to ensure you have the SDK installed.
