01
Open Schedules and choose the display.
Open Display Dimmer, select Schedules, then choose All Displays or a specific monitor. Use linked groups when multiple displays should follow the same schedule.
Schedules
Schedule brightness around your day.
Set Display Dimmer to brighten your monitors during work hours, dim them at night, or target one display with its own routine. Schedules use your Windows clock and run after you click Apply.
02
Add the schedule and apply changes.
Click Add schedule, pick a start and end time, set the brightness level, and keep it enabled if it should run automatically. A clear overnight entry looks like 08:00pm until 06:00am • 50%. Click Apply before closing Display Dimmer.
Schedule behavior
Create daytime and overnight routines.
A schedule can run during normal working hours or start in
the evening and end the next morning.
All Displays
For most users, one All Displays schedule is the easiest place to start.
Per-display schedules
Use a specific display when one screen needs a different brightness routine than the others.
Copy the schedule
Use Copy to... when you want the same schedule on another display or scope.
Click Apply
If the page says changes are not applied yet, click Apply before closing Display Dimmer.
When schedules overlap
Display Dimmer uses the most specific active schedule for each display: that display first, then linked groups, then All Displays. Within the same scope, the earlier saved schedule wins.
When a schedule ends
Display Dimmer restores the brightness it captured before the schedule took over. If an app rule is active, the app rule stays in charge until it stops matching.
Overnight schedules
Create an overnight schedule.
Use an overnight schedule when brightness should change in the evening and continue into the next morning. For example, 08:00pm until 06:00am means Display Dimmer uses that brightness overnight.
