Purr — Rootless Resolution Cha

Purr — Rootless Resolution Cha uses a special calculation method to determine DPI, so you can swap your device resolution easily for a smoother experience. It can be useful for games, movies, and streaming. The app works without root access, may help lower GPU workload, and can improve compatibility with some titles. You can also set resolutions yourself, giving you more control instead of being locked to a fixed display mode.

• Custom resolution profiles: Choose resolutions that match your preferences.
• DPI calibrator: Adjust DPI values so the new resolution looks right.
