Show HN Content-adaptive: Show HN: Content-adaptive display brightness for macOS with DDC/CI support
In this story
I was always annoyed that I had to adjust brightness when switching from an IDE in dark mode to a bright web page. I was aware of Lumen <a href="https://github.com/anishathalye/lumen" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/anishathalye/lumen</a> but didn't use it since it does not support external monitors.<p>Therefore, I built Lumos, which is heavily inspired by Lumen but adds support for external monitors. The DDC/CI part of the code is vendored from <a href="https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl</a>. It really improved my experience and I almost never have to manually adjust brightness anymore. And it is open source so I wanted to share it here.
