The last thing that
you see before you sleep is definitely your mobile device. Bluelight from your smart
device can put strain on your eyes. And if you have nocturnal habits of reading
or browsing with your phone, then caring for your eyes does not need any second
thoughts. In that case, you will not be okay with the in-built light regulator
your device has. You have lots of free third-party night filters with more
functionalities.
Twilight
Hanging in the
notification bar, Twilight lets you exclude apps from dimming. Although, you
can’t control the color levels, only the temperature and intensity. But this
will be more than enough for many users.
Twilight is quite
compatible with AMOLED screens. Once you get done with the initial setup,
you’ll very rarely feel the need to make changes in the future.
The app has a pro
version in case if you need a little more than the free version. With the Pro
version, you can control the time the screen will take to dim after sunset.
Midnight
Sometimes while
night-reading, even the minimum brightness of mobile or any other device seems
very much. And when you cannot set it any lower, all you need is Midnight App
because it will let you set the brightness level lower than the minimum level.
Without incessant
pop-ups and ads, Midnight will give you all the major functions of a night
filter. With a round slider interface, you control the black, yellow, blue and
red light. With that done, you can click on play button to preview changes.
Automatic mode will start or stop the screen filter when the screen is turned
on in dark places. Midnight has a sensor to determine ambient light. In dark
environments, the brightness level will be adjusted automatically.
Dimly
If you accidentally
happen to set the screen light too dim, the Dimly app has a shake to restore
feature. Just shake your device and you have undone the change. Dimly shows a
slider on tapping that app. You can toggle the blue light filter off and set
the brightness level accordingly. Though the app is free of cost.
However, for $1.99,
you can keep ads at bay and schedule a start time.
My Eyes Protection
As the name
suggests, the app will remind you to give your eyes a break from constantly
looking at the computer or mobile screen. This one is a simple night filter
with nothing much to configure. But still it finds a place in our list because
it does what a night filter should do. There is configuration for blue light
filtering and but not any other color customizations.
Bluelight Filter
This one is another
simple night filter that will filter the blue color and reduce the brightness
of your smart device to lower levels. No extensive tweaking, but you can toggle
the app on and off.
With free version,
you have constant ads, switch to pro-version if you don’t want them. Since the
app is really simple, it won’t drain your battery much.
