Use-case page
Use a black screen at night to reduce glare, create a sleep friendly screen, and keep your room darker than a bright app or white webpage would.
Start night mode
A black screen dark mode setup helps lower distraction at bedtime. While no screen is perfect for sleep, a black background sleep screen is gentler than bright apps, menus, and notifications. If you are also thinking about OLED battery savings or idle screensaver use, those pages connect naturally here.
This page is useful whenever you want a darker room and less visual noise than a normal app interface creates.
A darker screen can help reduce eye strain from bright UI, but the biggest win is still lowering brightness and limiting late-night stimulation when possible.
If the goal is battery life, open the OLED battery-saving page. If the goal is a static idle dark state, the screensaver page is the closest match.
