About gloomy

gloomy turns the whole screen into a single, very dim color. It is meant for finding your way in the dark without disturbing your night vision or raising your vigilance, e.g., checking on a sleeping child without blinding yourself or anyone else, or getting a glass of water at night. Controls
  • Swipe up or down, or use the volume keys, to make the light brighter or dimmer.
  • Swipe left or right to move continuously from red through amber and yellow to white.
Features
  • Red by default, which preserves night vision best.
  • Goes dimmer than the phone's lowest brightness setting by also dimming the color itself.
  • Keeps the screen on and hides the status and navigation bars while open.
  • Quick settings tile that opens gloomy straight from the lock screen, without unlocking the phone.
  • Remembers the last color and brightness.
  • Changes the screen brightness only while gloomy is open.
  • No permissions, no network access, no ads, no tracking.
