Features

  • Support for M1 Pro and M1 Max
  • Onboarding process on first launch
  • Redesigned Diagnostics

  • Redesigned Quick Actions menu
    • The menu appears on click instead of hover over the menu bar icon now
    • The native menu can be shown using:
      • Right click (or two finger Trackpad click) on the menu bar icon
      • Click on the three dots icon in the top right of the Quick Actions menu

  • Sliders everywhere
    • Merged brightness and contrast slider
    • Volume slider in the QuickActions menu
    • Only possible with the incredible help of @waydabber, maker of BetterDummy
  • Redesigned Display Settings menus

  • Restart Lunar menu item and hotkey

  • Overlay/Gamma switcher button inside the Controls menu

  • App presets now work for the built-in display as well

  • Adding Option key to the BlackOut hotkey will turn off monitor completely through DDC
    • Example: let's say you have configured BlackOut to activate on Ctrl-Command-6
    • Then pressing Ctrl-Command-Option-6 will allow you to turn off the monitor completely (just like pressing its physical power button) if the monitor supports that function
  • Rounded corners for any display
<video autoplay loop muted width="572" height="450" src="/static/video/screen-corner-radius.mp4" style="width: 572px; height: 450px"/>

Improvements

  • Enable the power button in the Lunar window to also work when the Allow BlackOut on single screen option is enabled
  • Add high memory usage checker to aid in fixing memory errors in the future
  • Use Apple Native smooth transitions using private macOS APIs on Apple vendored displays
  • Smooth transitions can now happen in parallel if there are multiple displays with different controls
  • Cut the memory usage in half by replacing large images in the UI with vector-drawn bezier paths
  • Improved BlackOut logic when using a dummy display
  • Filter checkbox for showing/hiding dummy displays
  • Hotkeys changing the display with the cursor now affect all monitors in a mirror set

Fixes

  • Software overlay for Sidecar now appears correctly on first connection
  • Notify the system when changing built-in brightness to allow the system curve to readapt
