What’s planned
The Mac version starts with the essentials.
A focused first release for mixed MacBook and external-monitor setups, with honest fallbacks when a display cannot expose hardware controls.
The best available method
Use native controls or DDC/CI where supported, then fall back to software dimming when needed.
Connection-aware controlComfort and automation
Color temperature, schedules, hotkeys and app-aware rules are being evaluated after the core controls.

Common questions
Before you join.
Is the Mac app available now?
Not yet. This is a signup list for a Mac version in development.
Will it control external monitors?
That is the goal. Hardware brightness depends on the monitor, cable and dock. Software dimming is planned as a fallback and is being tested; HDR and some graphics paths may limit it.
When will beta testing begin?
We don’t have a date yet. We’ll email the waitlist when testing opens.
Does joining guarantee beta access?
No. Invitations may be sent in stages based on the Mac and monitor setups we need to test. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Will beta testers get the finished app for free?
Yes. People who take part in beta testing will keep the full Mac app at launch at no charge. Joining the waitlist alone does not guarantee a beta invitation or free launch access.
Which Macs and macOS versions will be supported?
Requirements are not confirmed yet. We’ll share them before sending beta invitations.
What about DisplayLink and HDR?
Support can vary by monitor, connection, dock and macOS version. DisplayLink and HDR compatibility still need real-world testing.
What emails will I receive?
Beta invitations and occasional development or release updates. You can unsubscribe anytime by emailing [email protected].
Will there be a subscription?
No subscription is planned. Beta testing is free, and beta testers will keep the full Mac app at launch at no charge. For other customers, the introductory price is planned at US$9.99 one time.
