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.

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