Black Light

Black Light is a cool app for macOS that takes the standard Night Shift feature and cranks it up a notch! While Night Shift helps your eyes at night, it doesn’t offer much in terms of customization. That’s where Black Light shines!

Advanced Features of Black Light

This app lets you add all sorts of color effects to your screen. You can set these effects to kick in automatically or use hotkeys to activate them on the fly. Plus, you have the option to exclude certain apps if you want.

Minimize Blue Light Exposure

A lot of folks use Black Light to dim their screens and change the color temperature at night, which really helps reduce blue light exposure. The best part? It already comes with a default setting that picks a pretty good color for you!

More Customization Compared to Night Shift

If you thought Night Shift had some options, wait until you try Black Light! You can choose your favorite colors, adjust how much tint and dimming you want, or even play around with gamma settings.

Adjust Brightness and Color Anytime

No need to stick to just night use—Black Light lets you change your screen’s brightness and color anytime using easy sliders. Whether you're working, gaming, or just browsing, there are tons of ways to make your screen look just right for every situation.

Easy Activation Options

You can have Black Light activate automatically based on what time it is or turn things on manually using hotkeys. It’s super handy since the app can sit in your menu bar for quick access between different effects.

Custom Hotkeys for Quick Changes

If you like tweaking things on the go, customizable hotkeys let you adjust effects without switching between them. They aren’t on by default but are easy to set up in the app's settings.

Smooth Transitions Between Effects

No one likes sudden changes! With Black Light, you can decide how long transitions take when switching between effects. This way, everything feels smooth and natural.

Create App Exceptions

If there’s an app where you don’t want any effect running while it’s open, no worries! Just add it as an exception. This rule will apply across all the effects you've set up.

In short, Black Light is user-friendly and packed with flexibility—perfect if you're looking for more than just a basic Night Shift setup or have other creative ideas in mind!
