    Control monitor settings using DDC/CI and USB

  • ddcutil is the defacto utility on Linux that can change the real brightness of monitors using DDC.

  • Lunar

    Intelligent adaptive brightness for your external monitors

  • No bot, I'm the developer of Lunar, the macOS app that contributed the Apple Silicon code to MonitorControl.

  • redshift

    Redshift adjusts the color temperature of your screen according to your surroundings. This may help your eyes hurt less if you are working in front of the screen at night.

  • Anyway, for dimming screens with overlays (or gamma alteration), Redshift seems to have a -b option.
