It's good when it works, but the dimming overlay doesn't work on some apps like Jetbrains IDEs or some games.

It's the only up-to-date overlay dimmer I could find. Works with multiple monitors (not separately, same overlay for each), multiple desktops and fullscreen apps.

Nice and clean alternative to ONLY dimm (adjust brightness) the screen.
