Color Filter - Dim Your Screen with Custom Colors

"Color Filter" is an Android app that overlays a customizable color filter on your screen, helping to dim brightness and reduce blue light exposure. It's designed to relax your eyes during nighttime use, potentially alleviating strain from bright screens. By selecting colors like red or yellow, users may limit blue light, which has been associated with insomnia, although the effects are not scientifically confirmed. This app aims to create a more comfortable viewing experience in dark environments.

App summary

Analyze keywords

This app shows an overlay (always on top window) showing a color chosen by you which dims the screen or filters its colors. This may help a night to relax your eyes as most phones screens are to bright and could permantly damage your eyes when staring at it to long while it's dark around you.
Additionally screens with a tint of blue have been associated with insomnia when stared at before going to sleep. By selecting a red or yellow filter some of the blue colors emitted by your device aren't shown anymore which might prevent this (No scientific confirmation on the effect of this app)

Phone screen won't work while this is running. 😪 Isn't that the whole point of this app??... and Yes... my phone's bluelight filter was OFF and no other light filters were installed.

Pretty much useless considering after the filter is applied your phone screen becomes unresponsive aside from in the app, so...

I downloaded this to dim the screen at night, but I can't use this with any other app. The filter here doesn't allow for finger taps on any other app while filter is active.
