Description
#Featured on Mashable, ProductHunt, OcularPrime and many more: goo.gl/HlQxl5
NightTone makes your screen more comfortable, enjoyable and healthier by shifting the colors of your display to a warmer, eye-friendly palette. It makes you sleep and feel better.
It's perfect for everyone's health, especially for people with visual perception problems, light sensitivity or discomfort.
• The science behind the app
The monitor's blue light tricks our circadian rhythm (our natural body clock) into thinking that it’s daytime. It suppresses melatonin (that sends "time to sleep" cues) and builds up histamine that helps wake us up, boosts attention and reaction times. In other words, it resets that feeling of tiredness and hurts our sleep cycle.
Just remember: It's bad to be exposed to sleep-inhibiting blue light during the night.
• Predefined color pallets for common scenarios
- Warm orange for late working hours
- Soft black or inverted colors for dark rooms

Ratings and Reviews
Not worth it
Not worth the $2 to be honest, it offers the same things as the built-in-display night feature. Only bonus is that offers various color options if you dislike orange, everything else already comes with your laptop.

Dear user, Thank you for your review, I'm taking notes of all of them.The app offers a larger colour pallet and shades, indeed. It also offers different brightness levels and an inversion mode. If you need this kind of options, the app has a place on your computer.You can also send me an email to hello@alexdenk.eu and I will gladly provide you with more details.Regards.
Eh.
I used this for a few months, and liked it except that it bumps up the screen brightness when it’s switched on, or when you change the color. It goes bright, and then you have to hit the dim button to get it back to the correct brightness. It got annoying to be blinded for a second every time I turned it on. Plus, the color seems to cloud over the black areas of the screen, reducing contrast in a bad way. The scheduler is a nice feature, though I personally didn’t use it much, and I liked the ability to customize the color.

Dear customer,
What you are describing is actually the built in macOS auto-brightness functionality. You can disable it if you go to your Mac's System Preferences > Display > click the Display tab > uncheck the "Automatically adjust brightness" option.
For more details or help you can send me an email at hello@alexdenk.eu and I will gladly help you.

Honestly - not worth it for a paid app
The tones seem unnatural and there are quite a few better options (built into macOS and elsewhere). This deVeloper has a lot innteresting apps but no free trails and I'e been disappointed with most
