Twilight is a helpful app that can assist you in sleeping better by blocking the blue light emitted from your phone or tablet after sunset. Research shows that exposure to blue light before bedtime disrupts your body's natural sleep cycle, thanks to the Melanopsin photoreceptor in your eyes being sensitive to blue light between 460-480nm. This sensitivity affects the production of Melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep patterns. So, if you spend hours on your device before bed, you may struggle to fall asleep easily. It's pretty wild, isn't it?

The Twilight app is extremely awesome! It adjusts the color of your device screen to correspond with the time of day and provides a pleasant, soothing red filter to give your eyes a rest. It also automatically changes the intensity of the filter depending on when the sun sets and rises in your location. And guess what? You can also use Twilight on your Wear OS device! This app is ideal for reading at night as it reduces the screen backlight much more than standard brightness controls. So, say farewell to eye strain and welcome a more comfortable viewing experience!

Twilight is highly beneficial for individuals with AMOLED screens. After using it for five years, we have not noticed any damage or screen burn-in. By adjusting the settings correctly, Twilight decreases the brightness of your screen and distributes light more evenly, even in darker areas like the status bar. This may help extend the lifespan of your AMOLED screen.

In order to customize your notifications and lock screen, the app may require you to enable the Twilight Accessibility Service. Rest assured, this is solely for enhancing your screen filtering and the app will not collect any personal information. Additionally, it will need permissions such as location, running apps, write settings, and network access for smartlight (Philips HUE) to safeguard your home lights from blue light.

In summary, Twilight is an excellent app that can enhance your sleep quality by blocking the harmful blue light emitted by your phone or tablet after sunset. It acts as a personal screen stylist that adapts to the time of day and applies a soothing red filter to protect your eyes. Additionally, it is ideal for users with high-quality AMOLED screens and requires permissions such as location, running apps, write settings, and network access for smartlight (Philips HUE) in order to safeguard your home lighting from blue light exposure.
