★ ★ ★ Brightness Slider Overview
What is Brightness Slider? Brightness Slider is an app that allows users to adjust their screen brightness from the menu bar, providing improved control over the dimming process. It is especially useful for those using a keyboard with no brightness keys or for those who find low brightness levels still too bright.

Not consistent across all monitors
By JasonWDC (Pcmac user)
The first fifty percent of the slider dims the apple display backlight (having no effect on external displays). Then, the lower fifty percent apply a “veil” of gray (by manipulating the color output). This works on all monitors. However , the native apple display birghtness has already been turned all the way down, then further. So on the lower half, the apple screen is darker than the other external monitors. And when turned all the way up, the paple display is exceedingly bright compared to the others.
There should be the option to control each kind of dimming separately. With all the different types of monitors and setups, giving users more control to adapt to their situation is most appropriate. Kudos for trying to make a simple interface but it needs a little more thought on the settings configuration.

Does what I need
By Lvivske (Pcmac user)
Does what I need, which is control the the app with my cursor and not keyboard. It doesnt line up perfectly with the system's this app or the touchbar, but it works and actually pushes things just a bit brighter than 100%

THANK YOU!!!
By NicholasWXYZ (Pcmac user)
I’m using an ultrawide AOC monitor with my macbook pro, along with a mechanical keyboard that is not manufactured by Apple either. This app works PERFECTLY with my monitor and I am now not only able to control the the app from the new convenient menu bar slider, but using the preferences settings in this app, I was also able to map the app up and the app down to two function keys on my non-Apple keyboard! I’M SO HAPPY! THANK YOU!

I miss Shades!
By Aly822 (Pcmac user)
I have 2 monitors - the primary is dimmed nicely with this app. The 2nd monitor it has no effect whatsoever. I was using Shades on Lion and it worked beautifully on both monitors. But given the shortage of such apps available, this works better than the alternative. (I see people saying it should work on 2 monitors - is there a trick to make that work?)? I don’t have the app option on my Mac for some reason, so this is an essential app for me - glad to find something that does work. Wish it worked better.
