Lunar is a macOS application for controlling external monitors: it adjusts real hardware brightness, contrast, volume, and inputs via DDC/CI, with native support for Apple displays. It offers adaptive brightness modes (sensor, sync, location-based), hotkeys, XDR brightness, sub-zero dimming, and selective monitor blackout.
Use cases
- control brightness of external monitors on mac
- sync macbook adaptive brightness to external displays
- dim monitor below 0% for night work
- switch monitor input with hotkeys
- turn off a monitor while keeping USB and audio
- unlock XDR/HDR brightness on supported displays
- adjust monitor volume and contrast from keyboard
When to choose
- you use external monitors with a Mac and want real DDC brightness control instead of software overlays
- you want ambient-light or sunset-based automatic brightness on non-Apple displays
- you need input switching, orientation changes, or selective monitor blackout from the menu bar
When to avoid
- you are on Windows or Linux
- your monitor does not support DDC/CI and is not an Apple display
- you need a cross-platform or headless display-control solution
