| Display support | The product supports CRT and LCD displays, including TN, VA, and IPS types, as well as OLED and high-contrast displays. | The app supports connected internal or external displays and requires macOS 15.6 or later on Apple Silicon or Intel Macs. |
| Intended users | The maker identifies photographers, videographers, colorists, designers, artists, software developers, and web designers as users for calibrated displays. | The maker describes it as designed for display calibrators, reviewers, video engineers, and home theater installers who need predictable pattern output from a Mac. |
| Purpose | Lutcurve calibrates monitors visually without a hardware calibrator device. | PatternSpace is a macOS test pattern generator for display calibration that renders SDR and HDR patches, pattern grids, clipping checks, gamma tools, and color swatches. |
| Security | The maker says its executables are timestamped and digitally signed with the developer’s private root certificate. | The maker says the app is sandboxed, limits network traffic to calibration protocols on the local network, and sends no analytics or telemetry to the internet. |

PatternSpace
PatternSpace is a macOS app for generating test patterns used in display calibration. It creates SDR and HDR patches, pattern grids, clipping checks, gamma tools, and color swatches. Its library contains more than 100 GPU-rendered patterns in Color, Checks, Geometry, Swatch, Gamma, and Clipping categories. Rendering uses a Metal EDR pipeline with up to 16-bit-per-channel output and patches locked to display refresh timing. It works with connected internal or external displays and requires macOS 15.6 or later on Apple Silicon or Intel Macs. The free plan includes 100+ patterns and 14 SDR reference presets; PatternSpace Pro costs $39.99, paid once and adds calibration integrations, unlimited Remote rendering, advanced HDR, and LUT and ICC export. DeckLink SDI Output is a separate $39.99, paid once and requires compatible Blackmagic hardware and Desktop Video 16.4.x. PatternSpace supplies patches but does not measure or automatically correct a display; display accuracy requires measurement hardware.
