## Description

**Color Filter** is a Chrome extension that overlays a customizable color filter on your screen to dim brightness and alter color tones. Ideal for nighttime use, it helps reduce eye strain caused by overly bright screens and blue light exposure. Choose from a range of colors such as red or yellow to filter out blue light, which is often linked to sleep disruption. This always-on-top overlay enhances comfort when using your device in dark environments. 

While the app aims to promote eye comfort and potentially aid sleep, effects may vary and no scientific confirmation is provided. For support or feedback, contact support@frostnerd.com.

## Review summary

Users appreciate that Color Filter helps reduce screen burn-in and eases visual stress conditions, saving eye strain and battery power. However, multiple reviews report that the screen filter overlay disables touch inputs on other apps, rendering the device unusable. The app suffers from instability on newer Android versions, with the filter turning on/off unexpectedly and resetting settings. Some devices experience incomplete screen coverage and lag spikes. Additionally, screenshots are darkened by the overlay. Overall, while effective in filtering colors for eye comfort, usability and stability issues significantly impact the app experience.

### Pros

- Useful for users with visual stress conditions such as Irlen syndrome, dyslexia, and autism.

- Allows easy activation and deactivation through the notification bar.

### Cons

- Screen overlay blocks touch input on other apps, making the phone unusable while filter is active.
- App is unstable on newer Android versions, turning on/off randomly or resetting settings.
- Filter does not apply to the bottom part of longer phone screens, resulting in incomplete coverage.
