Desktop Shades 4+

I used another app called Shades for years on previous macs and it was great. No frills it came on when I restarted the computer and dimmed it nicely. Unfortuately with Mojave it's no longer supported so I tried this app which does bascially the same thing. It's no frills easy to use etc. The only reason I took away one star is that i have to physically turn it on after a restart. It won't automatically restart even with it being listed in my start up disk items to start when the comptuer starts up. I have tried to find the option to make it "start" within the app but unable to do so. It would also be awesome if you could make it to where when we are using non apple monitors that the keyboard F1/F2 brightness functions could be used to control it.

While switching certain windows or applications or performing certain functions there are momentary lapses of the shade functionality resulting in bright flashes. Other than this its a great aplication.

This app is exactly what I wanted. I like to work on my Mac in a low light room. I prefer a very dim screen when the room is dark. My Mac just didn’t dim as dark as I needed it to be. The description of the app looked perfect for my needs, so I bought it. Best $0.99 I ever spent! All I had to do was open the app and click “on” and my screen was at the perfect dimness for me. I didn’t need to fiddle with any of the controls (although I could have if I wanted to) to get the screen at a comfortable light level. My eyes thaned me right away!
