MoonLight turns your screen into a soft, indirect light for the quiet hours of the evening. Dim the room lights, set it down nearby, and let a gentle glow fill the space. Set a sleep timer and it turns off on its own, so you can drift off without a second thought. 7 STYLES OF LIGHT Choose the light that suits your mood tonight. Round, soft lights: - Glow: a warm, rounded light that spreads gently - Hazy Moon: a faint, misty light like a moon behind clouds - Washi: a soft round light with gentle lines, as if glowing through Japanese paper - Pulse: a round light that sways softly Lights that fill the whole screen: - Panels: soft light spread across the whole screen - Plain: a simple, even wash of light - Aurora: slow waves of color drifting across the screen YOUR COLOR, YOUR BRIGHTNESS Pick any color with the color wheel, or start from a preset. Adjust the brightness with a slider until the light feels just right. GENTLE SOUNDS Layer a calm soundscape over the light. Choose from four tracks: Morning Forest, Thunderstorm, Rain, and Rain + Umbrella. Set the volume and loop as you like. SLEEP TIMER Set a timer and the light turns off on its own at the time you choose. You can leave it by your pillow without worrying about switching it off. A QUIET BEDTIME REMINDER If you like, MoonLight can send a gentle reminder once each night at a time you pick. It arrives without sound or vibration. AD REMOVAL Ads can be removed with a one-time purchase. There is no subscription. Your purchase can be restored on a new device. Everything you need is gathered on one simple screen: on/off, timer, music, brightness, and color. When the day is done, choose a light and simply rest in its glow for a while.

Nursing Light helps make nighttime nursing and baby care a little calmer. Use your iPhone as a gentle full-screen light, then track left and right nursing sessions with a simple tap. The app keeps the controls quiet and easy to read in the dark, so you can check the timer, adjust the brightness, and review recent sessions without turning on a bright room light. Features: - Gentle full-screen light for nighttime care - Adjustable brightness and warm color presets - Custom light color support - Left and right nursing timer - Automatic session saving when you stop or switch sides - Today summary, recent records, and a 7-day left/right chart - Sleep timer that dims the light after 15, 30, or 60 minutes Nursing records are saved on your device. The app is designed as a simple support tool for everyday care and does not replace medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nursing Light at none against MoonLight's 1. Nursing Light also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 5 days). MoonLight's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
