You can dim the built-in display and as many external displays as you like each gets its own slider in its respective menu bar. Don’t be fooled by its simplicity, a lot of thought and effort went into achieving it. Use this window to tailor Dimmer to your tastes.

Photographers will appreciate that Dimmer scrupulously respects each display’s color profile. Quoting from a customer review: “Dimmer is, by far, the best screen dimmer, maybe even the only one written correctly, by controlling the intensity of the video signal.” As a result, there is zero overhead dimming does not consume any memory, CPU time, or graphics resources. Rather than putting a semi-transparent (computationally expensive) mask over your entire display, Dimmer intervenes at the last possible stage in the graphics pipeline by adapting a video operation that is performed anyway.
Fade-out numeric feedback overlay (like the system brightness control).Fast, reproducible adjustment in user-defined steps.Invisible background service (not even a status item, if you don’t need sliders).Multiple displays, dimmed separately or in groups.If you are looking for a straightforward, elegant screen dimmer with intuitive multi-monitor support, you won’t find a better one. Your screens are dimmed.ĭimmer is a pretty good screen dimmer I wrote for myself and use every day.
