Overview
Twilight Blue Light Filter for Better Sleep is an Android application that filters the blue light coming out of your device’s screen to protect your eyes and sleep as well by using a relaxing , pleasant red filter. In the experiments, it is shown that the blue light of range 460-480 nm affects the melanopsin photoreceptors in our eyes. It reduces the production of melatonin hormone. Melatonin hormone helps your body to know the sleeping and waking time. Without it, your sleep routine will be a mash. And blue light of the devices is the reason why people have trouble with their sleep at night when using phones. I guess you understand now how the Twilight app helps us in getting a better sleep. It is also compatible with the Chromebooks, Android Wear Watches & Android TV.
User-Friendly Interface
It comes with an user-friendly and easy-to-use interface. All the options are available on the homescreen. On the upper part, it has three sliders to adjust the color temperature, intensity and brightness. Access the menu via the hamburger icon on the top left corner or use the right swipe gesture from the left side of the screen. With the “+” icon on the top right corner, you can save the current attributes in a new profile. It has a floating button on the bottom right corner to start & pause the filter.
Create Profiles & Switch with One-Tap
Adjusting the color temperature and intensity over & over again is a boring task. So you can create multiple profiles for different purposes such as reading or gaming and at different times. With this, you can switch to any profile according to the time of the day or night with a single-tap. You can also set it to auto-mode based on the sunrise & sunset time. In the auto-mode, it automatically turn-off the filter between sunrise to sunset time and turns it on after the sunset to the sunrise time. One of the best features about it is that it doesn’t change the color temperature & intensity with a sudden spike but changes it at a smooth drop over time just like how the darkness rises over time after sunset.
