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.This app is fully functional and does not include advertisements. Additional paid features are unlockable through an In-app purchase.
Xiaomi device / MIUI users need to go to Settings → Installed apps → Darker → Other permissions, and enable "Display pop-up window" for Darker to work correctly.
Paid features include:
» Auto-On & Auto-Off
» Start at boot
» Lower brightness below 20%
» Darken navigation bar
» Custom filter colors
» Root mode
» 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, color filter)
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.
Darker requires the use of accessibility services to darken the screen, no data will be accessed or shared via the AccessibilityService API.
*The color filter is similar to how the desktop version of f.lux works. Selecting a redder color will reduce more bluelight emitted from the display.

Bought this because the cheaper replacement screen for my phone had an issue where it was too bright at its dimmest setting. That part I love that it saved me from it... However it drives me insane that the paid features don't work correctly. I figured the light sensor occasionally bouncing from dark to light, the auto on/off never worked, and accessibility needs to be turned back on every single night.

The small widget on the side gets in the way of anything I do on my phone Plus when I click the small widget it'll turn off the darker app but it won't turn it on if I need it on so it's not helpful at all. However if you are looking for something to make your screen darker it does do that and it helped with my migraines I just can't handle the constant frustration.

When you take screenshots they appear much darker. Given the permissions you already have in order to run the app, it seems possible to turn off the dimming right as a screenshot is taken to get around this, but I don't know how the app works internally or if this is actually possible. Other than this, it works great and is super easy + simple to use! I had some issues before where the amount the screen dimmed by was inconsistent, but I haven't had that problem in a while.

It works, but it constantly and unpredictably turns off. Then when I go to reenable if, I have to reenable permissions, and go through about 6 clicks every time. I have no idea if this is a quirk of it being free or some other shenanigans. I'll be moving on to something more consistent with a better UI/UX. This would easily be 1 star except it works when it works.

THANK YOU!! Old android user here. I've used my phone for so long that the screen lighting circuits have partially fried, so my screen is screwed up if the brightness goes below 20%. Fine in the day, but way too bright during the night. This app darkens the colors on your phone to allow the screen to be darker instead of using system brightness! It really works and is an amazing app!

I love this app — it makes dealing with light-sensitive migraines so much easier. My one big gripe with it is that when you screenshot anything with the color filter active, the screenshot takes on a much darker version of the color filter I'm using, which totally distorts the image. I have to pause Darker, take a screenshot (so that it looks normal), and then start Darker again. Drives me nuts!

This app is fantastic! I have a cheap government phone from assurance wireless. I tried to turn down the brightness but the screen was still very bright. Even applying the built in night light feature didn't help. Then I found this app and it solved my problem. It's very convinent because you can turn it on from the home screen. Also, no ads! Unfortunately it doesn't apply systemwide but I guess it's Androids fault and not this app. Overall it's a great app and I would recommend.

This app hasn't worked for awhile. You can set it on in Accessibility so it doesn't make apps inaccessible on screen, but very shortly after it turns itself off and you get a bright screen again. The author asks folks to set it, and we do. But if author could find out what's going on it'd be great, because the app still doesn't work as it should.
