![]() ![]() This is where Lunar shines, providing features that Vivid doesn't have: Lunar shows an additional slider under the native OSD that's solely for the brightness above 100% and below 0% (this keeps the original range available, and adds more range outside that).Vivid overrides the native brightness OSD to show its additional brightness, which looks more native but also decreases the granularity (one step in brightness up/down is actually two or more original steps).Vivid and Lunar's XDR Brightness do the exact same thing, the difference is in UI and automation. Night Shift + Shifty is a much better choice than f.lux nowadays anyway. That's because macOS has global Gamma tables, and Lunar and f.lux would fight each other in applying their changes. Lunar can work with f.lux as long as you don't use the Gamma altering features of Lunar: Gamma dimming fallback when DDC doesn't work, Sub-zero dimming, XDR Brightness, Color Controls, BlackOut, FaceLight Color controls both in hardware (if the monitor supports it) and in software (using Gamma).Improved App Presets: works in Manual Mode and Adaptive Modes, is applied based on where the window is.Custom Presets: save current brightness and contrast for active displays and re-apply them in the future using a hotkey or by clicking on a button. ![]() Command Line integration to do your own scripts and automations.Clock Mode: schedule brightness changes on specific times.Hotkeys for switching inputs on the monitors (and a ton more hotkeys in general).XDR Brightness: unlock the brightness between 5 nits for MacBook Pro 2021 and Pro Display XDR.Sub-zero dimming: dim brightness below the lowest supported by the screen.BlackOut: turn off individual displays without DDC (even the built-in display, without needing to close the lid).Sensor Mode: support for custom Ambient Light Sensors (useful for Mac Minis, Mac Pros, MacBook's in clamshell mode).auto-learning curves for adaptive modes (so brightness curves can now be non-continous curves with hills and valleys, very helpful for some monitors that have weird hardcoded curves in their firmware and Sync Mode seemed to never work well on them with Lunar 3).TVs, AirPlay/wireless displays, Projectors, Samsung G7/G9/M7/M9) Gamma and Overlay dimming for displays that block or don't support DDC (e.g.Lunar 3 only supports Macs with an Intel CPU, and has rudimentary Sync Mode and Location Mode algorithms. applying brightness and contrast values for specific apps (+50% brightness when viewing movies in VLC? or -30% when launching that app that still doesn't have Dark Mode after 4 years?).using a custom ambient light sensor for adaptive brightness.turning off the built-in MacBook display without closing the lid.going below 0% brightness (if that isn't low enough for you).unlocking over-500-nits brightness on XDR displays.keeping brightness in sync for multiple monitors, even with different luminance curves.controlling external monitor brightness, volume and inputs.(because it seems I've posted mine too early this week)Īnd instructions on how to use them: How to add a coupon Is it Black Friday?
