Darker can decrease your screen brightness to extraordinarily low levels, to help prevent eyestrain during the night time. Use the built-in shade filter* to regulate the color of your show, excellent for filtering out harsh white backgrounds in the course of the evening.

This app is fully useful and doesn't embody commercials. Additional paid options are unlockable through an In-app buy.

Xiaomi system / MIUI users have to go to Settings → Installed apps → Darker → Other permissions, and enable Display pop-up window for Darker to work appropriately.

Paid options include:

» Auto-On Auto-Off

» Start at boot

» Lower brightness under 20%

» Darken navigation bar

» Custom filter colors

» Root mode

» Customizable notification buttons

• Up to three buttons could be added for quick access.

• Buttons to extend and decrease the brightness ( 5%, -5%, 10%, -10%)

• Buttons to set a specific brightness (@0%, @10%, @20%, ... , @90%, @100%)

• Quick toggles (stop, pause, reset, colour filter)

Note: When manually installing APK information, Android blocks the Install button from being pressed when Darker is running. This is NOT a bug. It's a protecting measure to prevent malicious apps from camouflaging the set up button. Pausing Darker will clear up this.

*The color filter is just like how the desktop version of f.lux works. Selecting a redder color will cut back more bluelight emitted from the display.
