# Bright Multi-Display
A simple macOS application to boost the brightness of all your displays.
## Use Cases
This application is useful when you need to temporarily increase the brightness of your screen beyond the default maximum. This can be helpful for:
* **Watching dark videos:** If you're watching a movie or video with dark scenes, this tool can make it easier to see what's happening.
* **Playing dark games:** Some video games have dark environments that can be difficult to navigate. This tool can help you see better in those situations.
* **Working in bright environments:** If you're working in a very bright room or outdoors, this tool can help make your screen more visible.
## How to Run
1. **Clone the repository:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/vishalquantana/brightos.git
cd brightos
```
2. **Build the project:**
```bash
swift build
```
3. **Run the application:**
```bash
swift run
```
Alternatively, you can run the executable directly from the `.build/debug` directory:
```bash
./.build/debug/BrightMultiDisplay
```
## How to Use
Once the application is running, you will see a ☀️ icon in your menu bar.
* **Toggle Boost:** Click the icon and select "Toggle Boost" to turn the brightness boost on and off. You can also use the keyboard shortcut `B`.
* **Quit:** Click the icon and select "Quit" to close the application. You can also use the keyboard shortcut `Q`.
