About True Shade - Blue Light Filter & Tab Dimmer
White screens burning your eyes at 2 AM?
True Shade dims and warms any website with a smooth optical filter. No color inversion and no broken layouts. Your colors stay natural and every site keeps its design, only easier on the eyes.
🎬 Built by a filmmaker who works late and got tired of blinding white pages.
WHY NOT JUST USE DARK MODE?
Most dark mode extensions invert or rewrite a page's colors. That breaks images, videos, design tools and layouts. True Shade never rewrites a page's colors or layout. It works like a dimmer and a warm lens over your screen, so everything stays accurate.
FEATURES:
🌙 True Dim
Go darker than your screen's lowest brightness setting. Perfect for late nights on YouTube, Notion, Figma & Google Docs.
🌞 Warm Light
Cut harsh blue-white glare with a soft amber tone. Warms the screen without turning white pages and video highlights sickly yellow.
🌫 Privacy Blur
In a café, on a flight or in a co-working space? Soften your screen in one click so it's harder for people nearby to read at a glance.
⚡ One-Tap Presets
Night, Reader and Private. Pick one and you're done.
🌐 All Sites or Just This One
Shade every website at once, or give a single site its own settings. Everything saves automatically, so there's no Save button to forget.
🎛 Precise Control
Fine-tune Darkness, Warmth and Blur exactly how you like, from barely there to full night mode.
⏻ On/Off Switch & Shortcuts
Pause True Shade anytime without losing your settings.
Alt+Shift+↑ / ↓: darkness · Alt+Shift+N: warmth · Alt+Shift+S: on/off
(Change them at chrome://extensions/shortcuts)
🔒 Private & Lightweight
No tracking, no analytics, no ads, no account. Everything runs locally in your browser. Free forever.
