DDC/CI
Lunar changes the hardware brightness of the monitor using the DDC protocol.
It doesn't use a software overlay if the monitor supports DDC/CI.
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 dimming is 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 as the source code for the paid features is hidden.
Twice a month we will interview people behind open source businesses. We will talk about how they are building a business on top of open source projects.
We'll never share your email with anyone else.
