Requires Android: 2.2 and up
Category: Tools
v1.8.1 update:
Jan. 25
- Notification design improvements
- Added option to select notification theme (KitKat users can select “KitKat White” to match system theme)
- Fixed inaccurate scheduler time on KitKat devices
- Layout corrections for ICS and Gingerbread devices
- Reduced memory footprint
- Added Turkish translations
Overview:
Darker can lower your screen brightness to extremely low levels, to help prevent eyestrain during the night. Use the built-in color filter* to adjust the color of your display, perfect for filtering out harsh white backgrounds during the night.
Users can either upgrade the free version to Pro through in-app purchase, or directly purchase this version (for countries that don’t support In-app purchases) – both are the same in terms of functionality.
Features only in the Pro version:
» Auto-On & Auto-Off
» Start at boot
» Lower brightness below 20%
» Darken navigation bar
» Customizable notification buttons
• Up to three buttons can be added for quick access.
• Buttons to increase and decrease the brightness (+5%, -5%, +10%, -10%)
• Buttons to set a specific brightness (@0%, @10%, @20%, … , @90%, @100%)
• Quick toggles (stop, pause, reset)
Note: When manually installing APK files, Android blocks the “Install” button from being pressed when Darker is running. This is NOT a bug. It’s a protective measure to prevent malicious apps from camouflaging the install button. Pausing Darker will solve this.
*The color filter is similar to how the desktop version of f.lux works. Selecting a redder color will reduce more blue light emitted from the display.
