Warm Dusk warms and dims everything on your TV — Netflix included — automatically at sunset. Hold mute to adjust. That's it.
You never leave what you're watching. Hold the mute button for one second and a small panel appears over the movie: ◄ ► picks a level, ▲ ▼ fine-tunes the warmth, and it fades away on its own. A short press still mutes, exactly like before. No menus, no settings apps, no pausing the show while your eyes give up.
One warm layer across every app and every screen — Netflix, YouTube, live TV, the home menu. Not a picture-mode trick that streaming apps ignore.
Ramps up gently in the evening, holds overnight, and fades out in the morning. Extra-dims for late-night viewing so the panel — and your eyes — rest easier.
Collects nothing and phones home to no one. Smaller than a single photo — it even fits on storage-starved TVs where other apps won't.
Guided, brand-by-brand instructions for Sony, TCL, Hisense, Chromecast and Fire TV. If you can pair Bluetooth headphones, you can do this.
Free, from the button below. Store versions come once the preview proves itself.
A guided, copy-paste walkthrough ships with the download — brand-by-brand, about 5 minutes, one time.
That's the whole manual. Enjoy tonight.
TVs don't let apps draw over other apps unless the owner grants it — that's a good rule. The setup uses the same official pairing mechanism developers use to grant those permissions, once, and touches nothing else. Everything it enables is revocable anytime in your TV's settings.
Any Android TV or Google TV device (Android 8+) should work. Report your device and we'll add it: live compatibility table →
No subscription required. Optional Warm Dusk+ sync for multi-TV homes coming later.
Your TV — the biggest, brightest screen in the house, watched almost exclusively at night — is still waiting. We stopped waiting.
Yes — everything. Warm Dusk draws over every app, every input and the home screen. That's the whole point.
Yes. Warm Dusk starts with the TV and remembers your schedule. Set it once.
No. No analytics, no ads, no accounts — and no internet permission at all, so the app physically cannot send anything, ever. Don't take our word for it: every release publishes its SHA-256, and the APK's manifest is inspectable with standard Android tools. It will stay this way, because it's the reason many of you are here.
Teach Warm Dusk any button: settings → "Panel button" → hold the key you want. Home-row shortcuts work regardless.
It uses the same official pairing mechanism Android provides to developers, and it grants exactly two things: "draw over other apps" (the filter itself) and an accessibility service (so the app can notice you holding the mute key — key events only, and with no internet permission nothing can leave the TV regardless). Both are visible and revocable in your TV's settings anytime.
Any Android TV / Google TV device on Android 8 or newer, plus Fire TV. See the compatibility table for tested models.
Free preview out now. Store version — and one-coffee Pro — once enough of you want it.
