Solis - Unlock your MacBook Pro's full 1600-nit brightness

by•
Solis unlocks your MacBook Pro XDR display past macOS's 600-nit cap, all the way to its 1600-nit peak with true color (the real backlight, not a washed-out gamma trick). It's the only brightness app that also manages the boost for you: it adapts to the room's light, learns the brightness you pick, and eases off on battery and heat. Plus warmth for night, total-darkness dimming, and a deep-red astronomy mode. $9.99 once. No subscription, no tracking.

Hey Product Hunt, I built Solis out of a personal annoyance: my MacBook Pro's XDR screen can physically hit 1600 nits, but macOS caps everyday content at 600. You pay for the bright panel and then can't actually use it. A few apps unlock the brightness, but they just crank it and leave you to deal with the fallout: drained battery, a hot laptop, eye-searing brightness in a dark room. So I built the one that manages it for you. It adapts to the light in your room, learns the brightness you like from your F1/F2 presses, and quietly eases off on battery and heat so a brighter screen never wrecks your runtime. It also warms the screen at night, dims all the way to true black, and has a deep-red astronomy mode. It's $9.99 once, no subscription, and it collects nothing: no account, no tracking, no server. Would love your feedback, especially on what to build next.
