## Description

**Night screen** is a lightweight screen dimmer and blue light filter that makes your Android display darker than the system brightness minimum. Use the simple slider to reduce glare while reading, studying, gaming, navigating, or scrolling in bed, with automatic brightness restoration and optional screen-on mode.

Premium features include advanced full-screen dimming, scheduled start and stop times, a home screen widget, and a Quick Settings tile. The app requires no root or account, uses minimal battery, and its optional accessibility service is used only to display the dimming overlay without reading or sharing screen content.
