Lunar
A macOS app for intelligent adaptive brightness and hardware control of external monitors using DDC/CI.
What is Lunar?
Lunar is a macOS application that provides intelligent adaptive brightness and hardware control for external monitors using the DDC/CI protocol. It allows users to adjust brightness, volume, contrast, and input sources directly through monitor hardware, solving the problem of limited native macOS control over external displays. The app offers features like sensor-based adaptation, extended brightness ranges, and app-specific presets for optimized viewing experiences.
Mac users with external monitors who need fine-grained control over display settings, including professionals in design, development, or media who require adaptive brightness and hardware-level adjustments.
Developers choose Lunar for its native macOS integration, hardware-level control via DDC/CI without software overlays, and intelligent adaptive features that respond to environmental light or location, offering a more seamless and powerful alternative to basic monitor settings.
