Every 10 seconds I get the following in my system log after selecting any option MonitorControl Preferences Keys Listen for example below:

Oct 23 14:09:35 xxxxxx com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (me.guillaumeb.MonitorControlHelper[2055]): Service exited with abnormal code: 1
Oct 23 14:09:35 xxxxxx com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (me.guillaumeb.MonitorControlHelper): Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds.

...and thousands more of the lines above, etc..

Actually, I reported this wrong... It's not the Preferences/ Keys/ selections that cause the constant Mac system messages..It's when you've selected, Preferences/ General/ Start MonitorControl at Login option. Then the endless respawn messages begin, once I unchecked this, the Mac system log stopped the messages.

Hi @mrgooge sorry for the delay responding.

Thank you for the bug report, I think there's something wrong with the "Start at Login" feature and the helper keeps crashing.
I'll have a look and try to fix it.

Same here, crashes after sleep/wake on multi monitor setup. I even used sleep watcher to kill it before sleep and start after wake, but 1 in 10 times it still crashes (detects only one monitor)..

This is probably fixed now.
