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:
No features have been listed yet.
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.

Itβs 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 / 10 days 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 / 4 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 / 5 months ago
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
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
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
> 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
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.
