Less blue light. A darker iPhone at night. Night Screen brings your night display controls into one place. Combine warmer colors and extra dimming to go darker than the brightness slider alone, or choose a custom red display for nighttime reading and scrolling. MIDNIGHT: LESS BLUE LIGHT, DEEPER DIMMING Midnight combines minimum brightness, Reduce White Point and Night Shift. Night Shift warms colors to reduce blue light; Reduce White Point lowers the intensity of bright colors for extra dimming. Your saved iPhone preferences control the effect. RED TINT: MORE THAN WARMER COLORS Choose a red display across apps. The guide helps you set a red Color Tint in Settings with your preferred hue and intensity. Red Tint reuses your saved Color Filters with Reduce White Point and low brightness, with Night Shift off. YOUR NIGHT CONTROLS, TOGETHER • Switch between Midnight and Red Tint after guided setup. • Apply your chosen display mode across apps. • Fine-tune brightness with the in-app slider. • No ads and no Night Screen account required. Night mode for Safari Darken bright web pages with natural, warm or red light and extra dimming. Switch the effect off per site. Enable the included Safari extension in Settings and allow website access. Results vary by website. Room-matched brightness An optional brief camera check adjusts brightness to room light. Run a check yourself or enable it when a mode turns on. Slider changes afterward teach preferences for similar lighting. Camera permission is required; no images are saved or sent. SET UP ONCE, REUSE EVERY NIGHT Add the included NightScreen Modes shortcut to Apple's Shortcuts app, then activate your chosen mode from Night Screen. Both modes require Shortcuts; Red Tint also needs one-time Color Filters setup in Settings. Turning off night mode disables Night Shift, Color Filters and Reduce White Point and sets brightness to 40%. Appearance depends on your iPhone and saved settings; automatic brightness or schedules can change it. Preview illustrations show appearance, not measured light levels. SUBSCRIPTIONS Monthly and annual plans include Safari night mode, room-matched brightness, Midnight and Red Tint.
