Store listing

Full description
Darker can lower your screen brightness to extremely low levels, to help prevent eyestrain during the night. Use the built-in color filter* to adjust the color of your display, perfect for filtering out harsh white backgrounds during the night. Users can either upgrade the free version to Pro through in-app purchase, or directly purchase this version (for countries that don't support In-app purchases) - both are the same in terms of functionality. Features only in the Pro version: » Auto-On & Auto-Off » Start at boot » Lower brightness below 20% » Darken navigation bar » Custom filter colors » Root mode » Customizable notification buttons • Up to three buttons can be added for quick access. • Buttons to increase and decrease the brightness (+5%, -5%, +10%, -10%) • Buttons to set a specific brightness (@0%, @10%, @20%, ... , @90%, @100%) • Quick toggles (stop, pause, reset, color filter) Note: When manually installing APK files, Android blocks the "Install" button from being pressed when Darker is running. This is NOT a bug. It's a protective measure to prevent malicious apps from camouflaging the install button. Pausing Darker will solve this. Darker requires the use of accessibility services to darken the screen, no data will be accessed or shared via the AccessibilityService API. *The color filter is similar to how the desktop version of f.lux works. Selecting a redder color will reduce more bluelight emitted from the display. Tasker Support Darker has Tasker support, use these intents to send commands to Darker: darkerpro.STOP darkerpro.PAUSE darkerpro.INCREASE_5 darkerpro.INCREASE_10 darkerpro.DECREASE_5 darkerpro.DECREASE_10 darkerpro.SET_10 darkerpro.SET_20 darkerpro.SET_30 darkerpro.SET_40 darkerpro.SET_50 darkerpro.SET_60 darkerpro.SET_70 darkerpro.SET_80 darkerpro.SET_90 darkerpro.SET_100 darkerpro.TOGGLE_COLOR darkerpro.ENABLE_COLOR darkerpro.DISABLE_COLOR Add the above intents to Tasker by going to Action Category→System→Send Intent→Action, leave the other fields default, and note that the intents are case sensitive. These two intents below need an additional parameter in the "Extra" field darkerpro.SETCOLOR "Extra" field: COLOR:1~16 (Colors are numbered left to right, top to bottom) darkerpro.COLORSTRENGTH "Extra" field: STRENGTH:1~10 The intent below needs the "Target" field set to "Service" darkerpro.START

What's new

- Fixed some Android 17 bugs - Updated to Android 17 SDK - Updated accessibility service troubleshooting section for some devices with aggressive task killers/ram cleaners (If the accessibility service keeps getting disabled, you need to add Darker to the system whitelist, to prevent the system from stopping it)
