Originally I considered implementing this functionality inside MonitorControl, but eventually decided against it as it would not fit well the scope. There is a great team behind MonitorControl – I learned a lot from them, and am really thankful for their support and the chance that they selected me as a fellow team member and maintainer of the project.īetterDummy has some links to MonitorControl. I considered MonitorControl an essential tool on Mac and was very disappointed when after switching to M1 it did not work. As with BetterDummy, MonitorControl is a project of love and also of necessity. Just like BetterDummy, this app is free and open source as well. I think it is now the best app to control the brightness of third-party displays as if they were Apple displays.
This involved much much more work than BetterDummy. I did most of the coding for version 3, with Apple Silicon support and various improvements, and now version 4 with dozens of new features. I've been working on MonitorControl since summer.
