Lowest brightness
When the slider is all the way down and the page still feels bright, Sleep softens the whites and adds warmth. Tap Restore to bring your brightness back.
Everything your eyes want at night
Three iPhone settings that live in three different places, set together.
Warmer too
Night Shift turns on with the same tap, so the light is softer as well as dimmer.
One tap to undo
Restore brings back the brightness you had before. Nothing to remember in the morning.
One tap from anywhere
Double tap the back of your iPhone, use Control Center, or let your bedtime do it. After setup, you can run your shortcut without opening Nightly.

Questions
How is this darker than the brightness slider?
The slider stops at a minimum. Nightly sets that minimum and also turns on Reduce White Point, an iPhone setting that lowers the intensity of bright colors. Together they go below what the slider allows.
Why do I need to add a shortcut?
Nightly uses Apple Shortcuts to apply brightness, Reduce White Point and Night Shift together across your iPhone. You add the Nightly shortcut once during setup.
Can I get stuck with a screen that is too dark?
No. Tap Restore in Nightly, or run the Nightly shortcut again, and your brightness returns to where it was. You can also raise brightness in Control Center at any time.
How do I make it even darker?
Open Settings, then Accessibility, then Display & Text Size, and drag the Reduce White Point slider to 100%. Your iPhone keeps that strength for every dim.
Does Nightly collect my data?
The Nightly app has no account, analytics or advertising. It does not send your scenes or display settings to Adecastic.
What is Red Screen?
A scene option that turns on Color Filters with a red tint you set once. Many people prefer red light in a dark room because it is less harsh than white.
Which iPhones does it work on?
Any iPhone running iOS 26 or later.
Read in the dark. Keep the room dark.
No account, no tracking. Your scenes and display settings aren’t sent to Adecastic.
