Description

Applies a shade that acts as a dimmer to ensure your eyes don't hurt. Far more powerful than Android's built-in brightness setting. Great for low-light gaming, web browsing, and eBook reading. It even saves battery life for AMOLED displays!

More features:
- Widgets: Easy access to preset brightness levels.
- Tasker/Locale Plug-in! Set brightness based on time/place/etc. To disable, configure for 100% brightness.
- Brightness slider uses logarithmic scale for fine-grained control.
- Drag the app icon to your desktop to use for toggling on/off.
- Prompts to confirm very low brightness settings.
- Option to disable soft-key backlight (does not work on all phones).

NOTE:
*** If you accidentally make your screen go BLACK ***
1. Pull your battery or (Nexus7) hold power button for 10 seconds
2. Uninstall the app to reset your bad brightness setting
3. Reinstall the app and use it normally again

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Really loving this app in my car. Hope there will be an option for automatic filter during sunset time
5 ★Seems to be a very nice screen dimmer/filter. Highly adjustable and easy to enable disable. Caution: you can dimmer too low and if you do the only way to fixed is to do a soft reset, uninstall the app, and reinstall the app.
4 ★The filter starting to turn off constantly, the app hasn't been updated in 7 years, please update asap.
5 ★I've used this dimmer app for years, and only this dimmer app. It's simple, and probably exactly what you're looking for. I have never had this popup ad issue - like I've said, I've used this exact app for years, on at least eight different phones & tablets. My phone is 100% ad-free 100% of the time, so I would definitely notice if something were off. Thank you guys, I have been getting away with my late-night Facebook scrolling & email checking since 2014!! :p
5 ★This was a great app on my last phone. Being able to dim the screen beyond the standard settings means being able to use your phone in places not normally allowed. I could even use it in the movie theater without disturbing anyone else. Unfortunately, it doesn't work entirely on my new S9. It won't dim the shade menu, or the soft keys, which are bright enough by themselves to disturb others. Hopefully there's an update coming, as I find this app to be one of the must haves
3 ★It does what it says it does and I like the app. My issue with it is that it keeps failing every time my phone screen turns off or goes into daydream mode.
5 ★I LOVE this app. I totally recommend it to you guys. This is so simple and easy to use. I have been using it since 2-3 years and it has not even once disappointed me. This app is my lifeline, really. My eyes hurt even though the brightness of my phone is zero. But, this app saves me every time especially at night while using phone lying on bed. Thank you so much for this app and the best part is that it contains no ads. I wish it remind the same even after 40-50 years.
5 ★For years at least 8 + years this app has been the best screen dimmer alive! It has worked flawlessly on every phone without problems. Just add a widget and pick a dimming %.
5 ★Absolutely brilliant (or not!) app. I am setting up an old tablet to use as a photo frame with rolling album pictures. The display is usually too bright especially at night time but this app makes it just right. Love the tasker integration so I can set different levels for night and day and automate a switch of display to camera images (with increase and then decrease of screen filter levels) when camera alert is received. A very well thought out and perfectly developed app. Would be worth.purchasing. but as it is not an option it is definately worth a small donation to WikiPedia. Full credit to the developer.
4 ★This does exactly what it's supposed to do, darken up your screen a bit more than the default so you can use it in a darkened room without bothering anyone. I have one complaint. With my Samsung in night mode, all of the notifications turn black with white print, except for the one that's there when Screen Filter is running. Notification slide is not under the filter, so if I pull it down, the bright white Screen Filter Running notification is blinding. Please make it black!
4 ★been using this app for years. works perfectly, light weight, and easy as can be. I understand this app hasn't been updated in years, but I have 1 suggestion and 1 bug to report. suggestion... remove the ability to completely black the screen. just a bad idea. bug... maybe it's a safety feature, but when active I cannot install apks from SD. I can uninstall all day however...
4 ★The app is great in terms of what it's supposed to do. Maybe too great though... I accidently put the brightness at 0% and submitted that and I couldn't see anything for a good 5 minutes. Thankfully my eyes adjusted, but it was scary to think that I might never be able to see anything on my phone ever again. I wish there was a quick but simple method (maybe triple clicking the home button or sth like that) that helps users exit the dark screen mode quickly.
