I want to migrate from MonitorControl to BetterDisplay #3675

Hey, as title says, but one thing I want to ask before doing that. The reason I'm using MonitorControl is that I could easily control brightness from menu bar and the most important is that it does sync from built-in Apple display so that means it updates my external displays brightness as well.

One thing I would like to ask if BetterDisplay is capable of doing this: sync from built-in Apple display, but do -30% for external display. For e.g. if currently my built-in Apple displays brightness is 37%, set external display brightness to 7%.

If that is possible somehow to configure I would migrate immediately. That is the most annoying issue with MonitorControl that I have manually control it and then I go from sleep to active it increases external displays brightness to almost match built-in which burns my eyes 😭

You can configure syncing (using the rather advanced syncing features under Groups). However brightness level equalization is a feature yet to come (it's planned).
