Great for making devices less addictive!

I was looking for a way to make my iPad and iPhone less visually addictive. StayGray does that and more. The installation is multi-step but self explanatory. I opted for the premium version which allows you to disable it for certain apps, certain locations, certain times. I’ve had a few questions and feature requests. Matthias is very responsive and very receptive. Honestly it should be a built in feature of iOS/iPadOS but until then StayGray is a perfect option!

Works great

Very simple and easy to use. I made a toggle shortcut and added that to control center. Bonus: No user data collected!
