BrightIntosh

BrightIntosh is an awesome open-source app that really shines when you're using a MacBook Pro M1 or newer. These models come with a fancy XDR display that has HDR capabilities. So, what does that mean? Basically, it means your screen can get way brighter than regular displays, but usually only when you're watching HDR content. This tech allows you to see a bigger difference between the darkest and brightest parts of what's on your screen.

Unlocking Extra Brightness

With BrightIntosh, you can tap into that extra brightness whenever you want! It makes everything on your display pop with color and light. Just a heads up, though: it's best to skip this feature while viewing HDR content since it could mess with how things look.

Easy Controls at Your Fingertips

You can easily turn the extra brightness on or off from your menu bar or by using hotkeys. If you dive into the app's settings, you'll find options to change those keyboard shortcuts for toggling brightness levels. Plus, there's a handy feature that lets you set it to automatically turn off the extra brightness if your battery is running low.

Alternative Brightness Method

If you're interested in another way to crank up your screen's brightness, there's an overlay option too! This method gives you more accurate colors but doesn't work in Mission Control or when switching Spaces. Just keep in mind that it might interfere with taking screenshots since it only lets you select the overlay.

If you're ready to make the most of your MacBook Pro's display, check out BrightIntosh. It's super easy to use and gives your screen a whole new vibe!
