Docs Dimmer

About

Take the glare out of your documents.

Docs, Sheets, and Slides are bright white by design — and after a long day of writing or editing, that wall of white is hard on your eyes. Docs Dimmer gives you a comfortable, adjustable screen without leaving the page or changing a single thing in your document.

Slide the page down to a softer level, warm the color toward a gentle amber, or flip on a true dark mode — all live, with no reload. Set it once and your eyes will thank you.

WHAT IT DOES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Dimming slider — darken the bright white page to a level that's easy on your eyes.

• Warmth slider — shift the color temperature toward warm amber, night-light style, to cut blue-light glare.

• Dark mode — invert the document to a true dark theme with one click.

• Apply to — choose which editors are affected: Docs, Sheets, Slides, or any mix.

• Instant on/off — pause the effect anytime from the popup without losing your settings.

• Reset — return to sensible defaults whenever you like.

WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Never gets in your way — the effect is drawn as click-through overlays, so editing, selecting, and scrolling work exactly as before.
• Lives where you work — settings sync across your Chrome profile and apply live, with no page reload.
• Free, forever — no accounts, no sign-ups, no bloat.
• Private by design — everything runs locally on your computer. Nothing about your documents or browsing is ever collected, stored remotely, or transmitted anywhere.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PRIVACY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Docs Dimmer requests only the minimum permission it needs:
• "storage" — to remember your dimming, warmth, and dark-mode settings locally.

The extension runs only on docs.google.com. No data leaves your browser. There are no analytics, no trackers, and no external servers.
