HDR/XDR displays support higher brightness to accentuate the difference between dark and bright areas, but the extra brightness range is usually only used when viewing HDR content.

Total XDR Designed to help you when you need your monitor to be as bright as possible. It unlocks 1,000 nits of peak brightness no matter what type of content the screen is displaying, making it easier to use outdoors or in bright ambient light.

The app supports MacBook Pro 2021 and 2023, as well as Pro Display XDR external monitors.To use it, just go to the menu bar and enable XDR is always on For the built-in display, external display, or both.

It goes without saying that you shouldn’t attempt to watch HDR content while using this feature, as peak brightness will be enabled for the entire display, whereas HDR requires specific areas of the screen to be brighter or darker.

TotalXDR isn’t meant to be used all the time, but it can be very useful in situations where even your Mac’s normally bright screen doesn’t have enough visibility. It’s a very lightweight app, written in Swift to provide the best native experience.
