Effective, super simple to activate, and FREE!

Im a new mama with a job and a dissertation that needed to be finished yesterday. This apps a lifesaver! Not kidding. I (silently) thank the developer(s) for it every time Im sitting/lying perfectly still and silent in a darkened room, because my daughter needs me close by in order to nurse/sleep, and I HAVE to get some work done (one- or semi-one-handed) on my tiny, beautiful, but glarlingly bright, Macbook Air.

Dimming the screen is easy to accomplish quickly and without rousing the wee one, since all it takes is a fast move of the finger to the apps icon and two short, 1-finger taps. After that, Im free to shift, as needed, back and forth between nursing/snuggling/singing/etc. and researching/writing - and all without fear of waking the baby! (You might have to be a parent or caregiver to a little one to appreciate how powerful - and realistic - this fear can feel. If youre neither, trust me- Its a special kind of anxiety that most, save the truly exceptional, go to great lengths to reduce).

Thank you to the folk who got this app up and running…and, thank you, in particular, for the icons position in the top menu bar. Love it. As for those browsing the app store, I cant recommend this one highly enough.
