Earlier this week I posted about how you can modify your Mac’s volume from command line. Little command line scripts make me smile because I spend so much of my day in command line, and automation can be the key to productivity.

The first step to changing Mac brightness is installing the brightness utility with Homebrew:
brew install brightness
With brightness installed, you can change the brightness of a Mac from command line:
brightness 0.3
This utility could be used somewhat like ding; you could execute a long-running script and then modify brightness to signify the task has completed:
brightness 0.1 && ./do-long-task && brightness 1
The brightness of a screen is a simple setting but you can make it work for you via automation with brightness!
