What you get

Switch between apps without abrupt changes in brightness.

You get more consistent brightness as you move between windows, so opening a bright document after working in a dark editor feels less jarring. Evenlight balances those differences across your monitors, helping reduce the repeated visual adjustment that can make long screen sessions uncomfortable.

You can have dimming follow your workday rather than waiting until your eyes feel tired. Choose when it starts and stops, and you won't need to remember to turn it on and off each day.

When the dimming doesn't suit what you're doing, you can adjust its strength from the menu bar. You can also pause it for full brightness or take a timed break from dimming, without changing your usual schedule.

  • Less jarring app switches

    You avoid sharp brightness jumps when moving between light documents and dark app windows.

  • Comfort across monitors

    You get brightness balancing across your monitors, not just on one screen.

  • Dimming on your schedule

    You choose start and end times so dimming follows your daily routine.

  • Full brightness when needed

    You can adjust dimming strength, pause it immediately, or suspend it for a set period from the menu bar.

Best for

  • You frequently switch between light and dark apps
  • You spend long work sessions across multiple monitors
  • You want dimming to follow a regular workday

Skip it if

You don't need it if brightness differences between windows don't bother you and your existing brightness controls are enough.

From the developer

You open Slack — blinding white. Switch to your code editor — suddenly dark. Back to a Google Doc — white again. Do that a hundred times a day and your eyes are wrecked by 3pm. Evenlight sits quietly in the background and evens out the brightness between windows, so every switch feels natural instead of jarring.
