Hi, I highly apprechiate the synchronization of the brightness adjustment by the integrated display. However, my external monitor tends to appear brighter / darker than the built-in display. To resolve this, users should be able to set a brightness curve based on the built-in display's brightness for a selected resolution.
Another option could be to use an algorithm that tracks manual brightness adjustments over time to automatically determine the desired brightness of the external monitor, eliminating the need for manual setup.

Describe the solution you'd like

User-Defined Brightness Curves per Monitor.
Auto-Brightness Correction adapting to the users needs.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Anything else?

Yes! I have the same request... My MacBook monitor gets a lot darker (or brighter) than my Philips 4k monitor. This means that the scale on my MacBook is different than my external monitor.

Ex:
Macbook 0% = ~80nits
External Monitor 0% = ~120nits

Macbook 100% = ~350nits
External Monitor 100% = ~300nits

The feature set of the app is now considered final by the team, no more feature additions are planned. I advise you to try Lunar by @alin23 as that app has various advanced syncing features. I plan implementing advanced syncing in BetterDisplay as well.
