ViViD for Mac

Vivid — smart brightness control for macOS

Vivid is a free utility for Mac that automatically adjusts your screen brightness in response to changing light conditions. By continuously adapting display luminance, it helps maintain comfortable visibility and reduces eye fatigue across different environments.

How it adapts to your surroundings

Vivid monitors ambient light and changes the display output in real time, so the screen stays readable whether you move between bright and dim spaces or the daylight shifts through the day. Adjustments are smooth and designed to avoid sudden jumps in brightness.

Personalization and controls

You can fine-tune Vivid to fit your preferences. The interface is straightforward, allowing:

• quick manual overrides when you want a fixed level,
• creation of preferred brightness levels or schedules,
• subtle sensitivity tweaks so responses match your comfort.
