Night Shift is a Chrome extension designed to reduce eye strain and improve sleep quality by shifting your browser's colors to the warmer end of the spectrum after dark. It automatically adjusts the color temperature of your browser tabs, reducing blue light exposure that can disrupt sleep patterns. You can select from color presets to create the most comfortable viewing experience during nighttime or all-day browsing.

The extension supports a scheduled activation with three modes: Sunset to Sunrise, Manual Off/On, and Custom scheduling to fit your personal routine. Note that page refresh or browser restart may be required after installation or schedule changes to apply the color shifts effectively. Compatible primarily with Microsoft Edge tabs due to browser policies, Night Shift offers an effective and customizable approach to minimizing eye strain during late-night web usage.

User reviews

Users praise Night Shift for effectively reducing eye strain with a simple, user-friendly interface and smooth performance across devices. It works as a gentle filter rather than a traditional dark mode, maintaining page integrity. Common positive points include less screen glare and comfortable night viewing. However, some users experience occasional lag or delayed response and desire more advanced customization options, such as color choice and PDF support. A few mention it has little to no effect, indicating possible variability in user experience.

Pros

Effectively reduces eye strain and makes screen viewing comfortable, especially at night.
Simple and easy to use with an option to choose color tones that suit the eyes.
Works smoothly across platforms (mobile and computer) and is highly recommended by users.
Does not break webpages unlike some dark mode extensions and serves as a gentle screen filter.
Good for reducing brightness and glare during evening use.

Cons

Some users report that the extension sometimes hangs or takes time to respond.
Lacks certain features like applying color adjustments to PDFs or allowing full customization of color selections.
Effectiveness may vary as one user mentioned not seeing any effect at all.
