Adjust the slider for brightness or pick your favorite overlay color. You can also set a schedule to activate dimming automatically.

Accessibility disclosure
Low Brightness uses the AccessibilityService API only to keep the dimming overlay visible over other apps while you reduce the brightness. The service does not log or share any personal data and you may disable it at any time in system settings.
