  "github_readme_excerpt": "#  Brightness Sync\n\n___Apple Silicon users:__ Download the [beta](https://github.com/OCJvanDijk/Brightness-Sync/releases/download/v2.4.0-beta.1/Brightness.Sync.app.zip)._\n\n__Download:__ [here](https://github.com/OCJvanDijk/Brightness-Sync/releases/latest/download/Brightness.Sync.app.zip) (macOS Catalina required, app is signed and notarized)  \nAlternatively, you can use [Homebrew Cask](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask): `$ brew install --cask brightness-sync`\n\n_The app doesn\u0027t automatically check for updates. If you want to stay up-to-date, I recommend selecting \"Watch-\u003eCustom-\u003eReleases\" at the top of this page if you have a GitHub account, or using the Homebrew Cask installation method._\n\n## Compatibility\nThis app is only compatible with the LG UltraFine monitors developed for Mac in cooperation with Apple, specifically:\n\n__22MD4KA, 24MD4KL, 27MD5KA and 27MD5KL__\n\nThese monitors work differently than other monitors and this app was developed because existing solutions didn\u0027t support them.\nIf you have a different (UltraFine) monitor, please check out another solution like [Lunar](https://github.com/alin23/Lunar).\n\n## About\nThis is a small menu bar app to mitigate the problem of the first-generation LG UltraFine not being able to automatically adjust brightness.\nIt will poll the brightness of your built-in display and synchronize it to your LG monitors.\nThis way you can use the ambient light sensor of your MBP or iMac for all your (UltraFine) displays!\nThis also means manually adjusting the brightness of all your displays at once is easier, a single swipe on your Touch Bar or press on your keyboard will do.\n\nThe difference between this app and some existing apps is that this app uses a private framework of macOS to control the backlight of the LG UltraFine the same way the secondary slider of your Touch Bar will do.\nOther apps might virtually darken the display with the backlight staying the same, this will greatly reduce contrast.\n\nBecause this app relies o",
