About:
SlimHUD is a macOS utility that replaces the default system HUDs for volume, brightness, and keyboard backlight controls with a sleek, customizable bar display.

The tool enhances visual feedback during adjustments, offering a cleaner and more aesthetic user experience.

  • Customizable bar appearance (colors, position, size)
  • Smooth animations and modern design
  • Lightweight and runs in the background
Use Cases:
  • Users wanting a more modern look for system volume and brightness indicators
  • Customizing the macOS interface for a minimalistic aesthetic
