Do your eyes feel tired when you read on your phone at night? Do you have trouble falling asleep after looking at your phone's screen for a long time? Night Owl might be the solution for you!
Night Owl filters out blue light and reduces the brightness of your phone's screen more than you can achieve with Android settings, which helps you avoid eye strain, insomnia (inability to sleep), and headaches when staring at your phone in the dark.
• Dim the entire screen, notification icons, and notification drawer • Easily adjust the filter intensity in the app or from the notification. • Filter the blue light or customize the tint color. • Schedule the app to start and stop automatically via timer or sun scheduler. • Shake the device to stop the app. (optional) • Disable auto-brightness and lower device brightness to minimum automatically when the app starts. (optional) • Use quick setting tiles to start or stop the app quickly.
Night Owl uses the "Display over other apps" feature to put a filter on the screen to make it darker than usual and/or change its color.
Beta feature: Night Owl uses Android's accessibility feature to display a tinted overlay over the screen (including notification and lock screen) to make it darker than usual and/or change its color. Night owl does not read your screen content and does not collect any data through the Accessibility service. You need to enable Night Owl Accessibility to use the app.
User reviews
I've been using this app for a long time. And it's awesome for devices that doesn't comes with ultra dim brightness(or near to screen off in dark area). But the one problem is, this apps's transparent overlay doesn't covers othet overlaied apps or ui's like (bubble chat enabled messanger Notifocation Panel / Quick Settings tiles) As a result, those apps or parts stays bright. So, it would be great if this app can cover UIs and overlay apps like messanger, Side bar(app side bar panel).
Customizable and good selection of options but it doesn't always turn on at the scheduled time. It'll wait until ~20 minutes until the scheduled time to turn on, then freezes. When it freezes, I can't access the settings to adjust the dimness. Annoying because it defaults to the last setting before the wake up time. Since I gradually increase the dimness as I go to bed, this means it will jump to the dimmest setting when it does decide to turn on. It's just annoying enough to try other apps.
I love the app, but I despise the fact that when I do have my screen on a lighter setting it'll randomly turn on. I've sent an accidental message to a friend because I couldn't see and the embarrassment I felt afterwards was unmatched. Plus the fact that when I'm playing a video game I'll lose a match because my screen got suddenly dark. Please fix this issue.
