Synopsis

From the developer of Pixx, this simple program reduces screen brightness of the inactive monitor. It's listed as a way to improve focus, but I actually found it reduced screen brightness, not just darkening. Meaning running even on very subtle levels could save electricity over time. I barely noticed the change on "Overlay opacity" when set to 18.
