Been looking for a way to do this for a while and this makes it easy! It's a little annoying that you have to use the computer to set it up but its not the devs fault and they made an extremely clear how to guide on setting it up. It took me less than 5 minutes and that was only that long because I had to look up how to turn off apps that were drawing over other apps. (You might also want to add that info to guide devs) After it's set up it's just a click between grey and color.

Rebecca Lawrence, 2024-10-30I would very much like the option to make specific apps gray rather then have to exclude ones. This is not only a hussle to exclude many apps, it's even wors then that since, for example, Android auto makes the car screen gray and there is no option to stop it (other then to stop the app all together). Morover, I would really like an option disable for a specific amount of time, and to allow redshift even when gray (though I guess its impossible)
