NativeDisplayBrightness

This is a fork of https://github.com/Bensge/NativeDisplayBrightness by Benno Krauss.

Control your desktop monitor brightness just like on a MacBook!

native brightness UI

This is a utility application to control monitor brightness with the decrease brightness key 🔅F1 and increase brightness 🔆F2 keys on an Apple keyboard. It utilizes DDC/CI, but this app doesn't have the freezing issues that similar aplications tend to suffer from.

This app also shows the native system UI when changing brightness! It uses the private BezelServices framework for this.

Needless to say, your monitor needs to support DDC/CI for this app to work.

When holding the Shift key the increase/decrease brightness keys will cause the monitor contrast to increase or decrease.

Click on the application's menu bar icon to show a menu where the brightness and contrast may also be adjusted via sliders.

This application also uses DDHotKey by Dave DeLong to detect increase/decrease brightness key events.
