About
MediaMate replaces the default, old-style macOS HUDs for volume and brightness with new, compact ones. It also adds keyboard brightness control, with a new HUD and a shortcut to adjust your keyboard backlight.
The Now Playing feature gives you a quick look at which media is currently playing. It's tucked away in the notch.
MediaMate requires macOS 13 or later, and all Macs are supported. Touch Bar Macs need a separate mode to be enabled, which may be less reliable.
