Dim your screen for night use below what your device normally supports
Features ScreenDim Full
Is your minimum screen brightness still too bright?
Dim your screen below what your device normally permits for comfortable use in darker environments, reading in bed, amateur astronomy, etc.!
No root required.
(But there is an experimental root option which makes things even darker on some devices, e.g., the Nexus 7.)Save your five favorite brightness and contrast settings as a preset, and get it back by touching a single button or by a Launcher shortcut (Screen Dim also provides a Launcher shortcut to cycle through the presets, and another Launcher shortcut to disable it).ScreenDim also creates a notification item in your status bar so you can easily go back to it to adjust settings.ScreenDim is the first dimmer that can both adjust backlight brightness below what the system normally permits on many LCD devices and dim the contrast.
Some dimmers only filter and lower the contrast, which keeps the black areas unchanged and glowing gray on LCD devices when in the dark and doesnt save battery life (and at least one does it in a way that slows down 2D screen performance by about 30% in my testing).
Many other dimmers only change the backlight within the range normally allowed by the OS.
I recommend you install Screen Dim Trial prior to purchasing the Full version to try it out for three days to ensure full compatibility with your device.If you have any problems with ScreenDim, email [email protected] before leaving poor feedback.
There is a lot of variation in how different devices handle screen brightness, and I may be able to adjust ScreenDim to work better for you.Note 1: On OLED devices, there is no backlight, so all adjustment is contrast-adjustment.Note 2: If you set ScreenDim too dark for you to see the screen, you can recover by adjusting brightness with the volume buttons while in ScreenDim, or by tapping where the brightness adjust should be on the screen if you dont have volume buttons, or by rebooting your device (on many devices this is done by holding the power button for up to ten seconds to turn the device off and then by turning on the device).1.68: fix crash on older devices; maybe improve notification functioning1.67: better draw-on-top permission support1.66: Tweaks1.63: Bug fix1.62: No longer disable SELinux as per new Google Play policy; if you used Root mode in ScreenDim, you may need to find a way to disable SELinux yourself; alas, we cannot help you1.60: Experimental root and activate-on-boot support1.50: Controls in notification area (3.0+)1.11: Tasker support (see bottom of Help in app for information)

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"Still works great for me on Android 10/Q."
Deepak Daryanani
"I've adored this app for reading at night and use it nearly constantly. Hope it can be updated for newer versions of Android. Thank you!"
A Stevens
"Was working great, but after an OS update (Huawei P10, Android P10, Nova Launcher) it no longer dims the lock screen, only kicks in when the screen is unlocked."
Neil Cremin
"Crashing after last update IF active controls is turned off from settings."
Imma Wake
"Been using this forever to dim my screen at night while reading. Works great! Only thing I would add is: Being able to dim status bar & notification drop-down panel. These seem to stay bright all the time."
A Google user
"Working great again👍 Notification buttons are functioning better too. Thanks dev! OLD review: Was great; now just crashes when I try to open it (after today's update)."
A Google user
"Works great. Honestly have not found another app that comes close to the effectiveness. Developer is helpful and responsive. I am highly satisfied that I found this!"
Matt
"New version crashes on my Nexus 7 when controls are disable in notification. Have to clear data to get it working again and leave controls enabled."
Charlene Miller
"It's the only dimmer that works directly by adjusting contrast and brightness beyond the ridiculous default bounds. With the notification control showing 5 preset levels, it offers the fastest way of adjusting brightness. In contrast, filter-based dimmers are sluggish, not to mention the security loophole they constitute."
Jean-Marie Larchevêque
"Excellent app! Makes the life of anyone using a higher capacity battery much easier."
