I don't understand it or it doesn't work for me. I downloaded the pre-built binaries and put it in my application folder, I open it, it is up there in the menu bar... but I don't notice any difference. I wanted to use it for watching tv shows while I am chatting or browsing, so it dim somehow the rest of the screen a bit, but it doesn't seem to dim anything really. EDIT: Ok, I see, it works when I go out of full screen. Maybe in next updates you could add the option to adjust the amount of dim? :)

This is really clever and honestly something I've thought about 1 million times when I'm cmd-tabbing between apps that have dark themes and other's that don't! Brilliant...

I see that you're going through desktop image bitmap pixels to calculate luminosity. I wonder if it would be more efficient to downscale the image in graphics memory first. Then analyze tiny interpolated image instead of bringing the whole image to RAM every second.

@ramkumarhq Iris has this but in it's Pro version. It's called Smart Brightness https://iristech.co/artificial-i...

The fact that it doesn't work with system auto brightness is a bit of a nuisance - unless it considers ambient light readings itself.

An interesting version of this would be a chrome extension. Differently colored websites is the primary reason I would want brightness adjustment.

Lumen is a menu bar application for macOS that magically sets the screen brightness based on your screen contents.
