Desktop Dimmer is one of my favorite apps. It allows me to dimm or turn of my desktop light when its too bright. This app would be a great app for those who struggle with thier eye vision while working on their desktop or laptop without any screen shade to protect them from too much light ray. Desktop Dimmer enables you to have a darker-than-dark dimming ability for internal and external screens, and its available for macOS, Windows and Linux (Beta).
