About:
NativeDisplayBrightness is a lightweight utility that enables direct keyboard control of external monitor brightness on macOS. It bypasses system limitations by intercepting brightness keys and communicating directly with displays via DDC/CI protocol. This provides a seamless experience similar to built-in MacBook displays for third-party monitors.
Key Features:
  • Direct hardware control via DDC/CI protocol
  • Native macOS menu bar integration
  • Automatic detection of supported external displays
  • No background daemon or system extensions required
Use Cases:
  • Adjusting brightness on external monitors that don't support macOS native controls
  • Replacing bulky monitor OSD controls with keyboard shortcuts
  • Creating consistent brightness control across all displays
Alternatives:
  • MonitorControl – More actively maintained with broader display support, but slightly heavier
  • Brightness Sync – Focuses on automatic synchronization rather than manual control
