What it does
Control monitor brightness, adapt using the ambient light sensor, adjust volume, switch inputs and turn off displays without fiddling with clunky buttons.
Control the real brightness of any monitor, even on Apple Silicon. Unlike other software that only simulate a brightness change by adding a black overlay over your screen, Lunar uses DDC ( Display Data Channel ) to send commands like set brightness to 30% or switch input to HDMI 2 directly to the monitor. This keeps the colour rendering closer to reality, consumes less power and minimizes the backlight bleeding effect. Apple vendored displays get special treatment as Lunar uses an implementation hidden inside macOS Display Services to control them natively. The list of displays include: The same familiar keys can now control your external monitors. The brightness keys can also be configured…from lunar.fyi

Almost eight years ago I launched an online “Linux sysadmin course for newbies” here at HN. It was a side-project that went well, but never generated enough money to allow me to fully commit to leaving the Day Job. After surviving the Big C, and getting made redundant I thought I might improve and relaunch it commercially – but my doctors are a pessimistic bunch, so it looked like I didn’t have the time. Instead, I rejigged/relaunched it via a Reddit forum this February as free and open - and have now gathered a team of helpers to ensure that it keeps going each month even after I can’t…
