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

Ratings and Reviews
Basic App, better than nothing
This is a basic app and is worth the $2.99 for those who are sensitve to bright LED light, especially at night. A simple icon appears in the menu bar. Easy to turn on and off, unlike Flux (why I switched). I wish there were more orange / red tones to choose from. These are the only tones that work at night for better melatonin. The research is still out about back lit LEDs, even with color profile changes, but this app is surely better than looking at bright white light well into the night. Worth a try for $2.99!
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.
Developer Response ,
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.
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
