Darker is a useful Android application designed to further dim your screen below the standard brightness settings.

Overview

Darker is a screen brightness control app for Android devices. Its primary function is to lower your screen's brightness beyond the default minimum limit, providing a more comfortable viewing experience, especially in low-light conditions. This app can be especially beneficial for people with light sensitivity or those who frequently use their devices in the dark.

Features

Darker comes with several features that make it a versatile and user-friendly application. The Color Filter feature allows users to apply a color overlay on top of their screen, which can help reduce eye strain. Users can choose from several filter colors, including red, green, and blue, or create a custom color filter.

Another key feature of Darker is the Auto-On/Off feature. It allows the app to automatically start or stop depending on the time of the day, making it a highly convenient tool to use without manual intervention.

The Pro Version of Darker provides even more features, including the ability to set lower brightness levels, and the option to automatically start the app when the device boots.

Performance

Darker is a lightweight app and performs well on most Android devices. It is designed to be user-friendly, and the interface is straightforward and easy to navigate. The app functions smoothly and does not significantly impact the performance or battery life of the device.

In terms of effectiveness, Darker does an excellent job of reducing screen brightness below the Android system's built-in minimum level, providing relief to users who find their device screens too bright even at the lowest setting. The color filter feature works well, providing additional comfort to the eyes by reducing the harshness of the screen light.

Other permissions

  • GET_TASKS: This constant was deprecated in API level 21. No longer enforced.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: Allows an app to create windows using the type TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT, shown on top of all other apps. Very few apps should use this permission; these windows are intended for system-level interaction with the user.
