## Description

**Super Dim** is a Chrome extension designed to help users reduce screen brightness below their device's native minimum, ideal for comfortable viewing in low-light environments. Whether you're reading, browsing, or watching content at night, Super Dim allows you to apply a customizable color filter that significantly dims your screen to reduce eye strain.

Key features include manual or automatic application of the screen filter, control via a convenient notification, and a shake gesture to quickly turn off the filter. The premium version further enhances functionality by allowing the filter to cover the entire screen, including notifications and navigation bars, and intelligently correcting screenshots taken with the filter applied. No personal data is accessed even when Accessibility service permissions are granted. Enjoy a more comfortable nighttime experience with Super Dim!

## Review summary

Users praise Super Dim for effective night-time dimming, ease of use, and features like automatic mode and notification-based controls. However, multiple reviews report reliability issues—crashes, inability to open, and unwanted auto-dimming—as well as UI limitations and a paid feature pricing model. Some device-specific and post-update instability also appears. Overall it delivers the core benefit but reliability and pricing are common concerns.

### Pros

- Effective night-time dimming that reduces eye strain
- Easy to use with straightforward controls
- Privacy-friendly premium option with no ads or data collection
- Automatic dimming mode is very helpful
- Notification shade controls for quick on/off and level adjustments

### Cons

- Crashes or becomes unusable: the app frequently crashes on open or cannot be opened (force closes on enabling 'display over other apps').
- Dims or activates on its own unexpectedly, causing unwanted changes to brightness
- Poor UI/UX: toolbar controls are limited and can block the dimming area; accidental hue/level changes
- Paywall for key features: several dimming options require payment, which some users view as overpriced
- Inconsistent behavior across devices/OS versions and after updates (e.g., OxygenOS issues or pauses breaking post-update)
