URLflows for Dimming
LiveTakes the glare out of Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides — dim the bright white page, warm the colour toward amber, or flip on a true dark mode, all live with no reload. The effect is drawn as click-through overlays, so editing never gets in the way. Everything runs locally. Private, free, forever.

Eleven slides on dimming, amber warmth and true dark mode — how the effect layers over a document without touching it, how to isolate it per app, and why it makes no network requests at all.
