About

Monitor Control is a modern GNOME application for controlling external monitors using ddcutil. Adjust brightness, contrast, and other settings directly from your desktop.

Permissions

    --socket=x11
  • inter-process communication (needed for X11)
    --share=ipc
  • Wayland display
    --socket=wayland
