SlimHUD VS DisplayBuddy

slimhud

This is awesome! I'm curious if this is inspired by SlimHUD at all? It's another project which I believe was shared here some time ago. Your tool has several of the same features, but I do appreciate the extra polish and integration with Music here.

There is this free app SlimHUD, which I have not tested, but it seems to do the job.

I've created this app to replace that: SlimHUD

For those waiting for the real ease. You can try this in the mean time: https://github.com/AlexPerathoner/SlimHUD

Right now, I'm using an app called SlimHUD to get a nicer, iOS-ish volume indicator. The only issue is that the dev hasn't found a way to get rid of the default overlay.

Checking out the app, there is an option to put the bar horizontally either in the bottom or the top of the screen.

DisplayBuddy is a great alternative that's simpler to use and more powerful

DisplayBuddy lets you control external displays directly from your Mac - no need to touch those clunky monitor buttons. - Control your monitor’s **brightness** & **contrast** directly from your Mac **menu bar**. - Control the **volume** for monitors with **built-in speakers**. - Switch **monitor inputs** (HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C etc) directly from the app, and even directly power off displays. - Full support for **Apple Silicon** (M1 & M2) and **Intel** Macs. - Effortlessly **manage multiple displays** with ease & even **sync** **controls** across them. - Save settings across displays as **Presets**, and activate them later with a single click! - Looks great in both **Light** & **Dark** modes. DisplayBuddy has the features of MonitorControl, plus: - Change Display Inputs - Turn off display - Presets - Supports shortcuts on Mac - Supports Siri - Control display resolution - Brightness Sync (Monitor control has it, but only with built-in display)
