Dimmer 1.4.1 fixes one thing.
- Changing screen brightness with the lid part-closed now stays where you put it; closing further dims from there, and opening the lid all the way brings back the brightness you had with it open. Before, Dimmer forced the screen back to its own level until the lid was opened again. Go dark, and a screen dimmed all the way to black, still hold their level.
The veil is a visual cover, not a lock. No Screen Recording, Accessibility or Input Monitoring permission. No account or telemetry. Update checks are optional.
One universal app for macOS 14 or later, signed with a Developer ID and notarised by Apple. Tested on a 16-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Max (MacBookPro18,2) on macOS 27.2; Intel is untested.
On 1.3.0 or later, Dimmer offers this update itself, or choose Check for updates…. Dimmer 1.2.1 and earlier cannot update themselves, so install 1.4.1 by hand once: download Dimmer-1.4.1.dmg below, open it and drag Dimmer to Applications, replacing the old copy. Your settings carry over.
Check it against SHA256SUMS with shasum -a 256 Dimmer-1.4.1.dmg.
