   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

• Little macOS Apps That Make a Big Difference in 2024

  Adding my must haves: - DisplayBuddy: a more modern alternative to BetterDisplay to control monitors (https://displaybuddy.app) - Magnet: the simplest and best window manager (https://magnet.crowdcafe.com) - DaisyDisk: fantastic way to visualise your disk usage and free up space (https://daisydiskapp.com). - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• 18-year-old built a better computer monitor that doesn't strain your eyes

  Why not just use https://displaybuddy.app on a modern monitor and not strain your eyes. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Scrollbars Are Becoming a Problem

  If you’re looking for something that allows media keys and custom keyboard shortcuts: https://displaybuddy.app/ Works on both Windows and Mac. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• 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). DisplayBuddy was also mentioned here - it is a rather limited app and asks a bunch of money for stuff that is available for free and in a better implemented form in basically every other app (which is weird as...

• App LIST!!!

  DisplayBuddy (Paid) Very limited options, tbh I don't recommend it compared to Lunar or BetterDisplay. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ultra Librarian Joins Flux to Take the Hard Out of Hardware

  Having never heard of Ultra Librarian, I thought this was somehow related to https://justgetflux.com/ and that they'd made a switch from doing color changing to hardware. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Is it just me who dislikes the winter update with the change of colors?

  Reshade might help with the color tones. I normally use f.lux for Windows, but I don't know how much it might help. Could be worth trying, though. Source: 5 months ago

• Create a shortcut for even lower phone brightness

  This is good advice, but I prefer something that automatically dims and reduces blue light for me. That qay I don't have ro remember. f.lux on Windows and Mac, and Twilight on Android, are what work for me. https://justgetflux.com/ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Blue-light glasses may not reduce eyestrain from screens, study says

  > I can't put nightmode in Windows too close to 100 percent (i put it between 50-65) because then the contrast is just too bad. I hate windows night mode. As soon as you go above "slight" (can't remember the numbers, I'm not a frequent windows user and don't have one handy to check) it gets a sickly yellow taint. Last I checked (2-3 years ago) macos's wasn't great either, although somewhat serviceable. You may... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• How to sleep in extreme heat

  There is evidence that suggests that blue light from screens before bed time can impact your ability to fall sleep. Here are several more resources about this phenomenon. To counter this, there are apps for computers and phones that will change the colors of your screen depending on the time of day. A commonly used free program that does this is f.lux.
