About:
QuickHue is a macOS menu bar application that provides direct control over Philips Hue smart lights. It allows users to adjust brightness, color temperature, and toggle lights or groups without opening the official Hue app. Its main value is offering faster, system-level access for common lighting adjustments.
Key Features:
  • Menu bar control for quick access
  • Adjust brightness and color temperature
  • Toggle individual lights or groups
  • Native macOS integration
Use Cases:
  • Quickly adjusting room lighting while working
  • Creating lighting scenes for different tasks or times of day
Alternatives:
  • Hue Sync – Official app focused on media sync and advanced scene creation, less for quick menu bar control.
  • Lunar – Primarily for monitor brightness, but can integrate Hue for ambient lighting based on screen content.
