Not directly a comment on the article, but the author’s app Lunar looks very impressive: https://lunar.fyi/ https://lunar.fyi/ I love the ability to add an external light sensor to provide adaptive brightness to external displays! The name is a bit unfortunate. I assume it’s no relation to “Luna Display” but has some scope for confusion there…

https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl This is an alternative which is more macOS like design wise. I first used lunar but I find the design horrible.

  Ah yes, I’ve used MonitorControl and it’s excellent. Apple should give the author a chunk of cash and build it into macOS.

    If they wanted they would get an intern to rebuild it. They did similar with the Apple Watch keyboard

  Oh man.. I wasn’t aware the design is that bad. When I launched M1 support in Lunar, István Tóth which was using Lunar at the moment, dedicated a lot of his time to port Lunar’s solution into MonitorControl. He also created the Big Sur-esque native redesign that’s currently present in MC. I loved it and was kinda envious on it, Lunar’s QuickActions menu was always kinda useless. I tried to adapt István’s UI choices to Lunar’s style in Lunar 5 but I’m still not getting close to a native design. I’ll keep this for now as a lot of people liked it and bought a license because of it.

    I guess it's a good thing to have options especially in terms of design, since it's a taste after all.

Yes, it’s unfortunate. I wasn’t aware of Luna Display when I launched Lunar in 2017. I still get emails from people calling my app Luna Display, although they clearly use and have an issue with Lunar.
