Mac

Ditch the shade, embrace the sun. BrightIntosh turns your MacBook Pro into the perfect outdoor workstation! Note: After a free three-day trial the app needs to be unlocked via a one-time purchase. This open-source application makes use of HDR capabilities of your MacBook Pro to increase the maximum brightness of your display for any app! The app provides various settings like brightness levels, shortcuts and automations to make your experience as convenient as possible. Supported devices are: - MacBook Pro M5 14" from 2025 (Model identifier: Mac17,2) - MacBook Pro M4 from 2024 (Model Identifiers: Mac16,1, Mac16,5, Mac16,6, Mac16,7, Mac16,8) - MacBook Pro M3 from 2023 (Model Identifiers: Mac15,3, Mac15,6, Mac15,7, Mac15,8, Mac15,9, Mac15,10, Mac15,11) - MacBook Pro M2 14" / 16" from 2023 (Model Identifiers: Mac14,5, Mac14,6, Mac14,9, Mac14,10) - MacBook Pro M1 14" / 16" from 2021 (Model Identifiers: MacBookPro18,1, MacBookPro18,2, MacBookPro18,3, MacBookPro18,4) - Pro Display XDR Good indicators are the following two questions: Does the display of your MacBook have a notch, and does it say MacBook Pro on the underside of your device?

works just as intended.

I'm a sucker for high brightness and this just let me go to the max this display can do without the HDR content restriction. If you're worried that perhaps extremely high brightness may affect your display overtime. There can be slick hall for concern but Apple has various built-in software mechanics that prevent sustained high brightness like this to ever become a real issue.

Great asset

This has been a great plug-in, especially for the price. Also, it’s worth noting that I had a trouble-shooting issue on a Saturday morning, and the developer responded within 30 minutes. Obviously that shouldn’t be an expectation as this plug-in scales, but I think this level of alacrity at this level speaks volumes of the developer and anything he builds.

I think it's great and all, but betterdisplay has this extra brightness built into the brightness menu as if it was built-in to the mac instead of using a gui. it also used the brightness button on the keyboard. Betterdisplay is also a paid app, so can't complain to this app.

I shouldn't have waited for the free "trial"

When this went free with a 3 day trial, I was stoked. I installed it and it worked beautifully. When the trail expired, I tried to purchase it through the "store" inside of the app, but it refuses to connect. My firewall shows no blocking of traffic between my mac and the outside, and it won't work while tethered to my phone, either. I uninstalled and re-installed, and I still just get the spinning "loading" circle inside the store portion of the application. The "restore In-app purchase" and "Revalidate App Purchase" buttons do nothing, either.

Hello, we are sorry for the inconvenience. Unfortunately this issue is out of our hands as it relates to the connection with the App Store. Usually this problem can be fixed by closing BrightIntosh and restarting the MacBook. We hope you will give us another chance and feel free to contact us if there are further issues.

We changed the power supply based activation automation from "Disable when running on battery, enable when connected to power" to "Disable when running on battery, restore previous state when connected to power".
