Darken - Screen Dimmer
A dark transparent overlay
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Dims the intensity of your display, to help prevent eyestrain especially at night.
Cover the screen with a dark transparent overlay, similar to the "Low Light" accessibility filter on iOS.
After running the app, click the yellow crescent moon in the status bar to get a slider to adjust the darkness level. The slider ranges from 15% to 80%. To remove the effect, quit the app via the menu.
It is recommended to completely turn down the brightness first, and then use this app to create the effect of further dimming of the screen.
