Why it surfaced
Monitor Tray uses hardware brightness down to a 20% handoff, then adds a click-through black overlay for deeper dimming without turning the display off. It is still in private testing, but the site has unusually clear compatibility notes, local scheduling, diagnostics, and a planned one-time $4.99 price.
