This is a demo showing one of possible implementations. The display is brighter compared to Vivid. The main idea behind this project is to provide an open source and free-to-use alternative to existing apps that offer similar functionality for a price of up to €20. I believe that everyone should have access to powerful tools that enhance their display experience, regardless of their budget. [!WARNING] This project is no longer maintained. If you're looking for an actively maintained alternative, please use BrightIntosh instead. About The app uses MetalKit to overlay the CIImage with a transparent color in EDR color space over the display windows while applying color blending filter. Preview Screen captured on maximum system brightness with Apple XDR (P3-1600 nits) display preset. Window Split View ------------ ------------ Requirements Supported devices: Apple MacBook Pro with 14 or 16 inches and Apple Pro Display XDR. Limitations - Mission Control & Spaces - HDR brightness disabled during switching between Spaces. - White screen can appear on desktop or Spaces previews (thumbnails).
