This program is designed for people who like dark screens and want to protect their eyes. So if your monitor is too bright, especially during the night - even if you set the brightness to minimum, download Night Mode for Windows - a small tool to dim your whole desktop and all windows on all monitors.

You may also use global keyboard shortcuts:

CTRL + Windows key + F11 to decrease brightness
CTRL + Windows key + F12 to increase brightness
CTRL + Windows key + F9 to maximum dim the screen (boss-key)
CTRL + Windows key + F10 to change brightness to maximum

There is also possible to set initial value of brightness when starting the program, just add argument in percent (without % sign). This example will dim your brightness at 30%:

nightmode.exe 30

This program is free for personal & commercial use.

It works on all Windows XP and higher (2k/2003/Vista/2008/7/8/8.1/10) both in 32-bit and 64-bit editions.

It may require .NET 4.0 framework.

User Reviews

  • I made an account specifically to review this. Seriously, thanks so much to the developer for this, because I've got a TERRIBLE windows 7 laptop from like 2012 in which my monitor (broken screen on the laptop itself) has suddenly decided I don't need access to its native brightness options. I was going crazy seeing my own eyes reflected in my glasses while I worked because of the brightness of the screen. THANK YOU.
  • It helped me a lot, while coding.
  • It really helps to work at night when eyes are heavy. Special thanks to Boss-key :)
  • super lightweight, simple program. extremely quick download and installation time. setup time was 30 seconds. works perfectly so far. fits my needs. exactly what i was looking for to use on windows 7 for reducing eye strain, thanks a bunch
