Similar tool for macOS that also controls built-in displays and Apple monitors: https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl

Not aware of a similarly polished GUI tool on linux, but I use this: https://github.com/rockowitz/ddcutil

It's been super convenient having found all these tools (I use all 3!) for software control of monitors recently.

On Linux there are ddcui and gddccontrol (from ddccontrol), although they probably aren't as polished as the options for Windows/macOS. There is also the non-mainline ddcci driver, which lets Linux systems manage external monitor brightness just like it would internal screens on laptops.

MonitorControl is the most native Big Sur UI I've seen from an open source project. Nice.
