About MonitorControl
MonitorControl brings brightness and volume controls to compatible external displays. Use keyboard keys or its menu bar interface to make adjustments.
Hardware support depends on the monitor, connection and available control protocols. Consult the project compatibility notes before expecting every display function to work.
