Editorial interest 77/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Nightcap dims a computer’s screen and lowers its volume before putting it to sleep, hibernating, or shutting down.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-12 issue.

For: People who fall asleep at their computers
Worth noticing: It says brightness and volume are restored after cancellation or wake; unsupported displays use a dimming overlay instead.

Field notes

The page describes separate schedules for screen dimming and volume reduction, with user-selected targets for each. It lists sleep, hibernate, and shutdown as end actions, and says brightness and volume return to their prior levels after cancellation or wake; displays lacking brightness control use an overlay.
