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.

What's new in 1.1

* Quick settings tile: open gloomy from the lock screen without unlocking. * New colors: red, amber, yellow, and white. * Default brightness lowered to 0.15.
