Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when I can't remember the name of this app or the URL to its Github page. Yes, I'm forgetful, but I think MonitorControl is partially to blame because nowhere in its menu or settings does it say “Hi, I’m MonitorControl! You can find more info at https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl!”

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd suggest adding two things:

A new line in the menu that says "MonitorControl version X.X.X".
An ‘About’ tab in the settings that includes the program name, version, names of author(s) and the URL to the Github page.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Well, I've resorted to opening my Applications folder to find the name of this app. 🙃

I agree this might be something we could add, although not very high priority, if anyone feels like implementing it, feel free to submit a PR 😄

Also, I know it's not a perfect solution but the name should visible be in the general preferences section in the meantime:

@tomtastic You seem to be running a different version than 2.1.0 as you also have the "Show Volume Slider" option which isn't present yet afaik, perhaps you were testing a PR earlier and are still running that version?

EDIT: Eughh, my bad, a different version was indeed being sourced from /Applications/Utilities/

Big +1 to this, especially for the tiny effort to update the version string to "MonitorControl version X.X.X"
