macOS can't control external monitors brightness natively. Lunar adds that capability so you can use the same familiar brightness keys to adjust all monitors at once, or fine tune each one.
Volume keys also work for adjusting monitor volume, and there are hotkeys for switching between monitor inputs/ports.
By using the MacBook and iMac integrated Ambient Light Sensor, Lunar can automatically adapt your monitor brightness and contrast throughout the day so you can forget about fiddling with buttons.
Even if you have monitors with different brightness capabilities, Lunar can learn the differences between them and compute a custom brightness curve for each one so they're always at the same perceived luminance.
Displays that have more than 500nits of brightness are limited by macOS so they can't reach their full brightness. Lunar unlocks that through its XDR Brightness feature so you can work in sunlight.
The Sub-zero Dimming feature allows you to lower the brightness below the usual 0% so you can work comfortably during the night.
Lunar's BlackOut feature can turn off individual displays (even the built-in MacBook display) so you can focus on single tasks:

Have you ever felt down? Depressed? Like there's something missing?
That's computing life before Lunar. You might still be depressed, but at least you'll feel control over your displays.
Facelight, smart brightness sync across monitors, support for a DIY-ish light sensor, command line integration, APP SPECIFIC PRESETS (!) the ability to access the XDR brightness in your shiny new Macbook, and much more.
Your screens deserve better, your eyes deserve better. There's simply no better way to manage how light gets into your eyes from your monitor.

I've been working on my Twitter bookmark tool (https://getbirdfeeder.com) for the past year. I have some paying subscribers, but I mostly give that money to DigitalOcean for database and storage hosting. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
>"I always forget about things I bookmarked on Twitter" >Result: I built a small project that sends me a weekly email of my newly added Twitter bookmarks (https://getbirdfeeder.com). It doesn't make a lot of money yet but I have some paid subscribers. This is fantastic. I'm gonna check it out. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I know this is usually not the best strategy for coming up with side projects but for me it's just always about solving my own problem. The downside is that I'm solving the problems mostly fellow nerds have that they usually want to solve themselve instead of paying someone to do it for them. Example: "I always forget about things I bookmarked on Twitter" Result: I built a small project that sends me a weekly... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
It’s done in a similar way on macOS: a dylib is added to the bundle and an LC_LOAD command is added to the app binary. The dylib is the first thing that runs because of using the constructor attribute, like this: https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/Injecting%20a%20DYLIB%20into%20a%20macOS%20app The nice thing is that a signed app will refuse to load a dylib that does not have the same signature. So crackers will be... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

Wild! I am working on exactly the same thing now for Lunar (https://lunar.fyi), and I'm also calling it Night Mode ^_^ what a coincidence I've been trying to make "white regions in dark backgrounds" less painful for months, but doing that at the system level on macOS is incredibly hard. I see you're doing it with CSS filters, which make sense in the limited scope of an article. But applying something like... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
I was comparing anti-piracy measures with DRM, I don't have actual DRM in my app. I can't block users that really bought the app from using it (which is what DRM is notorious for). But I do have a license verification for the Pro features (https://lunar.fyi/#pro), and that is what people are cracking in the app. I only added more protection around this verification. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
