Describe the bug

I got a new App called NotchNook which also changes the volume and brightness indicators/animations. But when I'm connected to my external monitor in clamshell mode the brightness animation is not working and the there is no indication at all. The brightness does change, I just don't get the native indicator or the new animation from NotchNook.
Also reported this bug to their team

Steps to reproduce

Run MonitorControl
Run NotchNook
Change brightness

Expected behavior

Expected to see the animation from NotchNook

Anything else?

I don't plan adding NotchNook support to MonitorControl. My other app BetterDisplay supports MediaMate and I am happy to add NotchNook support as well. Actually the dev of NotchNook can integrate BetterDisplay easily as it has an API just for the purpose:

If you are in contact with the NotchNook dev, let him know I am happy to cooperate.
