Docs Dimmer

Live

Takes 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.

How to install

Click Add to Chrome above (the label adapts to your browser — "Add to Edge", "Add to Brave", etc.) and confirm the permissions prompt.
Pin it from the puzzle-piece Extensions menu so it's always one click away.
Open a Google Doc, Sheet, or Slide and adjust the sliders from the popup.

Browser support: Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Arc, Vivaldi and other Chromium-based browsers all install from the same Chrome Web Store listing. No Firefox or Safari.
