18-year-old built a better computer monitor that doesn't strain your eyes
I use "Monitor Control" on my Mac Studio to control the brightness of my Dell monitor:
- Scrollbars Are Becoming a Problem
-
[50% OFF] Lunar Pro summer discount
Good free alternative is MonitorControl. Pretty sure it does everything Lunar does but is open-sourced.

Which apps do you install first on any new Mac?
MonitorControl- use the native DDC/CI of external monitors to control their brightness and contrast and volume through the menu bar rather than the physical monitor controls
-
A long list of problems with MacOS (and their potential solutions)
Solution: Monitor Control.
-
TIL there are apps that can control your monitor without touching the buttons on it
MonitorControl (simple manual controls, doesn't yet work on M2 Macs though)
The best apps on macOS are BetterDisplay and Lunar by far in terms of features. MonitorControl is a strong offering as well, the gold standard in this field and is open source but it does not support recent M2 macs or any of the built-in HDMI ports of Macs since 2018 (note: BetterDisplay is the only macOS app that supports everything - Intel, M1, M2, USB-C, HDMI - even the HDMI port of the 2018 Mini).

Uninstall the NightOwl macOS app now
MacOS pulled it for me
Replaced it with NightFall
-
PSA: The "NightOwl" application was bought out and turned into a botnet in November 2022.
There's a free open source app Nightfall that works great for manual switching.
- New MacOS app

Quick access to Dark Mode?
I use Nightfall, and I'm really happy with it (it allows configuring a shortcut as well)
