I have not tried Big Sur myself. Did you get a crash report trying to open it?

Hey I am using Big Sur since Dev Beta1 and Monitorcontrol works fine for me. I have upgraded from Catalina though and the app was carried over from the Catalina installation.

Hmm, so I definitely did not carry over the install since I downloaded it through Big Sur. This could probably be it. My install of Big Sur is FUBAR at the moment so I could try a fresh Catalina and see it if carried over for me. Will report back with my findings.

@waydabber what are the processor and double arrow icons you have there?

@sn0wyfall The processor icon is the standard MacOS icon for eGPUs. The double belong to the Mac Media Key Forwareder app.

How has Big Sur been for people who are running it? Any issues with MonitorControl? I'm thinking about upgrading myself soon.
