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.

MacOS 26 has to be the most breaking version so far, its problems and intended breaking changes making my app dev life so hard this year. Just to name a few: - Reference Presets no longer allow setting arbitrary SDR nits, making it impossible to natively unlock 1600nits of brightness on MacBook Pros or 2000nits on Studio Display XDR which breaks my Lunar app [0] (this seems to be intended, no idea what hurt Apple... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
I had a similar issue, but I chose to solve it another way. I connected both computers directly to the monitor and used lunar[0] to use a keyboard command to switch inputs. I then used a Deskhop[1][2] to share the KB and mouse between both computers. It sounds awful, but in practice it was surprisingly nice. My monitor (LG Ultragear+) switches inputs fairly quickly. The process was something like this: hit the... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
Damn, I use Sourcegraph so much for my reverse engineering efforts on macOS. They index all those private framework symbols that people extract on every macOS release, and allow searching for headers and even how they are called by other developers that were ahead of me. A big part of https://lunar.fyi exists thanks to Sourcegraph search. Even now I'm using it to find a way to enable the second monitor on M3... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
Itโs 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 / over 2 years ago
Pretty sure Lunar [0] can do this for you, and you can buy a lifetime license. [0]: https://lunar.fyi/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

SQLAPI++ - SQLAPI++ is C++ library for accessing SQL databases (Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, DB2, InterBase, SQLBase, Informix, MySQL, Postgre, ODBC, SQLite, SQL Anywhere).
rcmd - rcmd makes app switching instantaneous!When you have a lot of apps open, finding and switching to them might feel too slow using Command-Tab or the Dock.Hold down the right side |โ command| and press the first letter of the app name to focus it.

Rectangle - Window management app based on Spectacle, written in Swift.
f.lux - f. lux is a piece of software for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android that provides a blue light filter over your screen. Research suggests limiting our exposure to blue light in the hours before bedtime can help us fall asleep faster.
