Keyboard shortcut doesn’t work

A saved shortcut no longer works after updating to 1.3.0

Global shortcuts now require at least two modifiers, including Control or Command. Previously saved shortcuts that do not meet this rule are not registered. Reassign them in Settings; for example, use Control–Option–1 instead of Command–1 for a preset.

A per-display Shortcuts action stops working after updating from before 1.2.0

-

Dimmerly 1.2.0 changes how Shortcuts identifies displays. Existing shortcuts with a specific display selected need that display reselected once.

A widget or Control Center action does not complete

Dimmerly opens when needed and waits for the app to acknowledge the action. If an error appears, open Dimmerly, check the selected preset still exists, and try again. On macOS 26 and later, add Dimmerly’s Dim Displays, Display Dimming, Auto Warmth, and Apply Preset controls in Control Center; Apply Preset asks you to choose a saved preset.

Save routines with presets and schedules

Presets save a complete display setup, including brightness, warmth, and contrast for each display. Apply them from the menu bar, a widget, Shortcuts, a schedule, or an optional per-preset keyboard shortcut.

On macOS 26 and later, add Display Dimming, Auto Warmth, and Apply Preset controls to Control Center or the menu bar. Choose a saved preset when configuring Apply Preset. The Display Dimming toggle reflects Dimmerly blanking, rather than macOS display sleep.

Starting with Dimmerly 1.2.0, you can find a saved preset by name in Spotlight. The Open Brightness Preset Shortcuts action opens it in the menu bar panel; use Apply Brightness Preset to apply its saved display settings. Individual menu bar display controls can also be targeted from Shortcuts and Spotlight on macOS 15.4 and later.

If you upgrade from before 1.2.0 with existing per-display shortcuts, reselect their displays once in the Shortcuts app.

Schedules can run at a fixed time, sunrise, sunset, or with an offset from sunrise or sunset. You can use your current location for the calculation or enter coordinates manually.

Keep the setup local. Dimmerly stores presets and schedules on your Mac. The app does not sync them between Macs and does not use analytics or tracking.
