MeetDisplayBuddy.Control your displays directly from your Mac.

• Adjust compatible displays’ hardware brightness, contrast, volume, input source, resolution, rotation, and power controls through DDC.
• Synchronize brightness and other supported adjustments across multiple external displays.
• Save display presets that can include supported settings and a multi-display arrangement.
• Schedule presets around time, sunrise or sunset, dark mode, charging, and display connection events.
• Use keyboard shortcuts, menu-bar controls, Shortcuts, Siri, command-line tools, or supported MCP integrations to trigger controls.
• Fall back to software gamma dimming when direct monitor control is unavailable, and control compatible LG and Samsung smart displays over Wi-Fi.

DisplayBuddy fits a desk setup where external-monitor settings are adjusted often or need to move together. It is a focused alternative to changing each monitor with its own on-screen display.

It is not a guarantee that every port, dock, adapter, or monitor exposes the same controls. Try the free compatibility path before depending on a particular DDC or input-switching workflow.

DisplayBuddy depends on the controls exposed by the monitor, connection, dock, and DDC implementation. Some displays need software dimming or a supported network-control path instead of direct hardware commands. The app requires the macOS access needed for shortcuts, automation, and display control; test the available trial or compatibility route before relying on input switching or power commands.

DisplayBuddy costs $24.99 for a one-time license.
