Grey – Grayscale Screen Filter

Grey helps you limit app usage and spend less time on distracting apps by putting a gray filter over them. By making apps visually less appealing, Grey helps you regain control—without completely blocking you out.

ONE-TIME PURCHASE – NO SUBSCRIPTION
Pay once, use it forever. No account, no ads, no recurring fees.

NOTHING BLOCKED – NOTHING TO BREAK
Unlike app blockers, Grey never locks you out. Your apps stay fully accessible—they just turn black and white. No failed blocks, no lockouts at the wrong time.

SET UP IN 2 MINUTES – NO COMPUTER NEEDED
Other per-app grayscale tools require ADB commands and a PC. Grey works right out of the box.

Grey came from a simple frustration: constantly opening social media out of habit. If you struggle with doomscrolling, need help with ADHD focus, or want to try a dopamine detox, traditional app blockers often feel too extreme. Grey offers a gentler path to digital minimalism.

While Android lets you turn your entire phone grayscale, that affects everything. Grey works on a per-app basis. It's the ultimate productivity tool to make individual apps black and white.

HOW IT WORKS
Pick the apps you want to dim—like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Reddit, X (Twitter), or YouTube Shorts—and Grey automatically applies a gray filter over them every time you open them. No annoying lock screens, just a simple app dimmer.

SCHEDULE
You can set a time window where the filter is NOT active—for example, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. That way, Grey only runs when you need it to stay productive.

PAUSE
Need a short break from the filter? Pause Grey for 10 minutes with a single tap.

DELAY
Give yourself a few minutes of color before the filter kicks in. Choose a delay of 2 minutes and 30 seconds, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes to ease into focus mode.

COMMITMENT
Lock your settings for 12 hours, 24 hours, 3 days, or 7 days. Perfect for a strict dopamine detox. No changes, no pausing—until the time is up.

PRIVACY
Grey only uses Android's Accessibility Service to detect which app is in the foreground. No personal data, no screen content, and no keystrokes are ever read or collected. Everything stays securely on your device.

Grey contains no ads and requires no account.

Grey is your all-in-one digital wellbeing tool: a grayscale screen, app dimmer, screen time reducer, focus mode, and distraction blocker—without blocking anything completely.
