    Also, if you want adaptive brightness and more automated controls, check out my Lunar app (https://lunar.fyi)

    An interesting tidbit: the DDC implementation of MonitorControl for M1 is actually based on Lunar's code and my research here (https://alinpanaitiu.com/blog/journey-to-ddc-on-m1-macs/)

    Since then, me and the MonitorControl devs have collaborated on creating some of the features that are present in both apps
