Lunar

Intelligent adaptive brightness for your external display

Lunar is a macOS app for controlling monitors, with native support for both Intel and Apple Silicon

Support Server

Note: Lunar changes the actual (physical) brightness and contrast of the monitor.

It doesn't use a software overlay.

Installation methods

Features

It doesn't interfere at all with the native adaptive brightness that macOS implements for the built-in display.

It works well along Night Shift and True Tone (and f.lux if Gamma/Software controls are not used).

Contributing

I'm pausing contributions for the moment as Lunar has paid features and isn't compilable because of missing parts of the source code (Pro features code is encrypted).

Building

Lunar can't be built from this repo yet as the source code for the paid features is hidden. I will try to post stubs for those paid features to at least make it compilable in an only-free-features form.
