About:
Black Light Pro is a utility for macOS that applies colour effects to your display on a configurable schedule. It allows users to automate visual changes, such as applying a dark overlay or other filters, to reduce eye strain or create specific visual environments. The application runs in the background, managing these effects based on user-defined timers.
Key Features:
  • Scheduled colour effects
  • Customizable visual overlays
  • Background automation
  • Simple user interface
Use Cases:
  • Automatically reducing screen brightness and blue light in the evening
  • Applying visual filters for specific work sessions
Alternatives:
  • f.lux – f.lux adjusts colour temperature, whereas Black Light Pro applies specific overlay effects.
  • Night Shift (macOS) – Night Shift is a built-in OS feature for colour temperature, while Black Light Pro offers more granular visual effects and scheduling.
