Support for scheduled brightness

[ajthemacboy]

The option to schedule screen dimming, like in SunsetScreen, would be very useful. I use the program on my Surface Pro for watching videos at night and I would like to automatically dim the screen after, say, 8 PM, and have it return to normal in the morning.

👍 I second this wish (on a Mac, though). In fact, I'd love to have the option to pass a parameter on startup that sets the brightness. That way I could control it via scripts (bash~, Apple~, PowerShell~, cmd~), un*x-cron, macOS-launchd, win-task scheduler et.al.

In fact, it would be enough if the brightness values was stored in the prefs file (de.sidneys.desktop-dimmer.plist). We could then read&write with defaults and start&stop with launchd (which I am doing now). Maybe that is possible without too much work?

Danke und Super-Arbeit!!
