Darker can lower your screen brightness to extremely low levels.

Features & Capabilities

Darker (Screen Filter) is a Chrome extension designed to significantly lower your screen brightness to reduce eye strain during nighttime or low-light conditions. It features built-in color filters that help filter out harsh white backgrounds and reduce blue light emission, similar to the popular f.lux application for desktops.

The app supports advanced functionalities including auto-on/off, startup at boot, custom filter colors, and navigation bar darkening via paid upgrades. It also provides customizable notification buttons for quick brightness adjustments and toggles. With robust Tasker integration, users can automate brightness controls and color filter settings. Additionally, Darker supports FlickStart for sensor-based commands from your phone or Android Wear device.

Privacy conscious users will appreciate that the extension requires accessibility services solely for screen darkening with no data accessed or shared. For Xiaomi/MIUI users, enabling specific permissions ensures smooth functionality. Darker is ad-free and perfect for anyone seeking a customizable screen dimming solution for better night-time viewing comfort.

This app is amazing. It's just what you need it to be, and honestly, it deserves more attention than it has. It's so simple, lightweight and also ad-free that I was genuinely shocked. I have no complaints on the paid service since, it's just what it needs to be for my uses. Slight edit: I've come to the realization that by using darker, you give full access of your phone. Just putting it out there.
