   Simple UI, and does what is says very well!

   If you use a monitor with your Mac, this app is life changing. I started using DisplayBuddy and I can never go back to monitor buttons now!

   👍 Pros:    Works perfectly|Supports mac shortcuts

• New MacBook Setup

• TIL there are apps that can control your monitor without touching the buttons on it

  All DDC related features in BetterDisplay and MonitorControl is completely free without limitation or no nag screens of any kind. Lunar has manual control available for free (with a daily adjustment limit).
