Twilight is an Android application designed to help users manage their exposure to blue light emitted by screens, particularly before bedtime. The app reduces blue light by dimming the screen and applying a red filter, which can aid in melatonin production, potentially improving sleep quality. Users can customize profiles for different times of the day, allowing for a tailored experience based on individual needs. The app’s default settings automatically adjust to local sunrise and sunset times, making it convenient for users to implement without extensive setup.

Setting up Twilight is straightforward, requiring only a few seconds to configure. The user interface, while basic in design, does not compromise usability, as options are clearly labeled or accompanied by brief descriptions. The application runs conveniently in the notification panel, allowing for quick access. However, while the app is functional and well-designed, there is no conclusive evidence that it significantly enhances sleep quality, as many factors contribute to a good night’s rest.

Developer’s Description

Allow you to read your tablet or phone at night without disrupting sleep cycle.
Are you having troubles to fall asleep? Are your kids hyperactive when playing with the tablet before bed time?Are you using your smart phone or tablet in the late evening? Twilight may be a solution for you!Recent research suggests that exposure to blue light before sleep may distort your natural (circadian) rhythm and cause inability to fall asleep.The cause is the photoreceptor in your eyes, called Melanopsin. This receptor is sensitive to a narrow band of blue light in the 460-480nm range which may suppress Melatonin production - a hormone responsible for your healthy sleep-wake cycles.In experimental scientific studies it has been shown an average person reading on a tablet or smart phone for a couple of hours before bed time may find their sleep delayed by about an hour.The Twilight app makes your device screen adapt to the time of the day. It filters the flux of blue light emitted by your phone or tablet after sunset and protects your eyes with a soft and pleasant red filter. The filter intensity is smoothly adjusted to the sun cycle based on your local sunset and sunrise times.
