Your MacBook Pro can go almost twice as bright as macOS normally allows. MacBrightness unlocks that hidden range so your screen stays readable in the sun: on the patio, the plane, or next to a bright window. It works on the brightness keys you already use. Press up past the old limit and the whole screen keeps going, in every app, not just HDR video. WHY MACBRIGHTNESS - Twice as bright, system-wide - The keys you already have, no new shortcuts - Readable in direct sunlight - No noticeable CPU overhead and no low-level hacks - It only uses the HDR brightness range your display already supports TRY IT FREE MacBrightness opens in Splitscreen Mode: one half of your screen jumps to full brightness for free, so you can see the difference side by side. Unlock the whole screen any time with a one-time purchase. No subscription. WORKS WITH MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch with M-series Pro or Max chips, and the Pro Display XDR. These mini-LED panels sustain around 1,600 nits. Other Macs top

Also boosts brightness but often requires more configuration and has a subscription model.
A display management tool with brightness boosting, but packed with extra features you may not need.
A comprehensive display utility; MacBrightness is a simpler, more focused alternative.
MacBrightness delivers exactly what it promises for M-series MacBook Pro users who need sunlight readability: full hardware brightness via familiar controls at a fair one-time price. It's a focused, no-nonsense tool that outperforms macOS defaults without complexity or subscriptions. While design and usability are strong, it trails peers in community traction, security documentation, and accessibility.
