Eye Saver, part of the CareUEyes toolkit.
This isn’t some bloated eye-care app full of pop-ups or gimmicks. It’s a lightweight, no-nonsense tool that filters blue light, dims your screen, and helps you take care of your eyes — quietly, in the background.
Why I Built Eye Saver
If you’re like me, your day starts and ends with a monitor. And after 10–12 hours of work (or gaming), your eyes start begging for mercy. The problem? Windows doesn’t let you dim your screen enough, and most “blue light filter” apps I tried either messed with the colors too much or felt clunky to use.
So I wrote my own solution. One that:
Doesn’t break your display colors
Doesn’t hog CPU
Actually helps you feel better after long hours in front of a screen
What Eye Saver Does
🌈 Filters Blue Light (Without the Weird Orange Tint)
Too much blue light = eye strain + bad sleep. Eye Saver applies a smooth color temperature shift — warm, comfortable tones that reduce glare but keep the screen usable.
🌙 Dims Your Screen (Below System Minimum)
Windows won’t let you go below a certain brightness — but with Eye Saver, you can. This is super useful late at night, especially if you’re in a dark room.
⏱️ Reminds You to Take Breaks (Optional, but Helpful)
We’ve all ignored the 20-20-20 rule (look 20 feet away every 20 minutes for 20 seconds). Eye Saver gives you gentle reminders so your eyes don’t burn out by 6pm.
⚙️ Includes Smart Presets
I added modes for different situations:
Reading – Soft and warm
Gaming – Dim but clear
Office – Balanced for daytime
Night – Ultra warm for bedtime coding marathons
You can switch between them or create your own.
🖼️ Doesn’t Affect Screenshots
Big pet peeve of mine: some dimmer apps tint everything — including screenshots. Eye Saver uses gamma control, so what you see is not what you capture. Screenshots stay normal.
Who’s This For?

People sensitive to light or struggling with sleep
Students, remote workers, night owls
