## Description

Booklight is a versatile Chrome extension that transforms your device's screen into a soft night light or desk lamp. With manually adjustable brightness and various color themes, it provides customizable lighting to suit your needs—whether reading at night without disturbing others, traveling on public transport, or creating artistic photography effects.
