Your monitor's buttons shouldn't be part of your workflow. DisplayDial puts brightness, contrast, and volume in your menu bar - real hardware control, presets, and a schedule that follows the sun. 7-days free trial and $6.99 one-time for lifetime access.
Hi everyone,
I use an external monitor every day, and whenever I worked late into the night, the screen was often too bright. Adjusting it meant reaching behind the monitor, finding tiny buttons, navigating clunky OSD menus, and repeating the same process every evening.
It never felt like something I should have to do when I was already sitting at my keyboard.
So I built DisplayDial.
It brings your display controls into the macOS menu bar and talks directly to supported monitors using DDC/CI, letting you change the monitor’s actual hardware brightness, contrast, and volume. For monitors without DDC/CI support, it automatically falls back to a high-quality gamma dimming mode.
Some of the features:
• Hardware brightness, contrast, and volume control
• Presets for Work, Night, Movie, and more
• Follow the Sun automatic brightness
• Time, sunrise, and sunset schedules
• Sync brightness across multiple displays
• Extended dimming below the monitor’s hardware minimum
• Resolution, refresh rate, rotation, and input switching
• Native Apple Silicon app with no subscriptions
One thing worth mentioning: macOS screen recordings don’t capture hardware brightness changes, so the demo video can’t fully show the effect. The best way to experience it is to try it on your own setup.
Launching with a special Product Hunt offer — $4.99 using code DDLAUNCH (first 50 redemptions).
I’d genuinely love your feedback.
