The previous overlay technique may show more accurate colors than the current gamma technique.
The downside is that it is not working when opening Mission Control or while Spaces are switched.
Using the overlay should now be an advanced / experimental option which can be toggled in the advanced settings tab.

Every time i use brightintosh, i need to quit f.lux. is there a way to fix?
As the number of different options increases, a settings window would simplify the menu.
"About" menu item with the following contents:
Functionality is perfect on 1.0.10, however one thing I noticed is that the system will close your app's menu after one gamma adjustment. 2 ways to improve this UX flow, either get Aqua not to close your menu when clicking Gamma adjustment buttons, or just bind a shortcut to Gamma adjustment. Also maybe call this 1.1 cause all the functionality works as well as Vivid and that's kinda major.
The hotkey id retrieval of the hotkey event is not correct.
A bright white pixel is visible near the lower left corner of the screen.
To do: hide it better
Possible ways:
OverlayWindow
to a more appropriate spotOverlayWindow
I have Disabled, and then uninstalled Brightintosh, using TrashMe3.
Seems like the brightness is still affected.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for the app!
Please make the "Activate" shortcut configurable.
The current shortcut hijacks my IntelliJ IDEA Navigate
shortcut.
It cannot be altered by system tools - Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts
does not work for menu bar apps.
I was about to purchase the 'vivid' app, so I just decided to donate the full amount I was going to pay for that license to this project. Big props to you for making it open source!
I'd like to avoid creating a paypal account for this. Crypto donations are more convenient for me. Do you by any chance accept USDC or some other form of cryptocurrency? If you do, please consider adding this to the project page.
Thanks again!
I love the app and especially because it is open source. I've just created a GitHub account so I could post this issue here.
When I'm watching a HDR video on YouTube, it's overexposed and overblown. Therefore requires me to disable BrightIntosh to enjoy watching the HDR video. This only happens when I'm looking at HDR content. Is there a way to fix that? Can't the tool recognize it when a HDR content is being played, so it does not overexpose the content?
Thanks!
Add a desktop widget which can toggle increased brightness.
BrightIntosh currently supports the built-in MacBook Pro display, but the same brightness-enhancing technique should also function with the Pro Display XDR.
If you own such a device and are interested in this feature, feel free to open a pull request for this.
Hi, if possible it would be very nice to have a timer to disable automatically the full brightness
As per title, the shortcut (which appears if you click on the menu bar icon) doesn't work in any apps.
The app should check on which device it is executed.
If the device is incompatible a warning should be displayed and increased brightness should be prevented.
Every device (even compatible ones) get a warning about incompatibility on the welcome screen of BrightIntosh.
I'm using a non-Apple App Store download version, but after I checked Launch on Login, clicked Check for Updates, and turned on Auto Check for Updates. The software interface disappears into thin air, but 1000 nits brightness and shortcuts (command+option+M/N/B) work fine. When I use Apple Store version, this bug disappears. I think the problem might be in the Auto-Check-Updates.
A heartfelt expression of gratitude for your selflessness.

Fix the odd transition between the inactive and active state of BrightIntosh where colors seem inaccurate.
The BrightIntosh icon sticks out on Big Sur onwards as its not a rounded rectangle.
Evaluate a mode which increases only the brightness of the active window, not the entire screen
It would be nice if the increased brightness would automatically deactivate if the environment is detected as dark enough. So when the extra brightness isn't needed anymore battery power is saved.
Basically if you press the brightness up button even after your brightness is at max, then it should activate, if you lower it then it should de-activate.
Use the deprecated Carbon API until it gets fully deprecated or a better successor exists.
The advantage is that no Accessibility features are required by Carbon.
Redesign the menu to include a slider to customize the gamma value of the screen.
When I take screenshots they look normal. This doesn't happen to me with other brightness changing apps like BetterDisplay and Vivid.
When adjusting the brightness slider in the menu bar while the BrightIntosh settings window is opened, there is a strange sound.
I have the 14" M1 Pro model.
Query and observe the maximumExtendedDynamicRangeColorComponentValue
and change the overlay color accordingly.
BetterDisplay has much more features and uses 30-60MB of ram while BrightIntosh uses 130-180MB. I know this is a FOSS app which I really appreciate, I just recommend you to optimize that since that is a lot of RAM for an app that just changes the brightness scale.
It's nice to know that you are indeed downloading the correct version, especially from the website, where it is not specified.
When watching a video with BrightIntosh enabled, the video will have SDR brightness unless the mouse cursor is moving, this occurs in Apple apps like Safari and QuickTIme, other apps like VLC, Chromium and FireFox are not affected. This appears to be a quirk about how Apple things specifically handles color profiles that fights with BrightIntosh.
I see the icon is in a square on Mac but on the repo and the website the icon is by itself.
Cursor changes from default black cursor with white outline to a pure black cursor. It's harder to distinguish on darker screens.
