Could you build this?
Partial The UI and state management in macOS are straightforward, but manipulating display brightness across varied third-party external monitors requires low-level DDC/CI protocol implementations and private CoreDisplay APIs.
What it would actually take: The app requires Swift/Objective-C interacting with macOS display APIs (DisplayServices, CoreDisplay) and I/O Kit for DDC/CI communication over I2C to control physical external monitor hardware. The hard part is dealing with hardware inconsistencies, monitor firmware quirks, and private macOS display brightness functions across Apple Silicon and Intel. Low-level macOS systems and hardware protocol experience is required.
