An app that gets rid of the blue-light that electronic devices give off, which research suggests is the main reason why people’s health gets worse over time.

Why use Night Light
As was already said, when Night Light is turned on, it filters out blue light and shows warmer colors. This doesn’t hurt your eyes’ corneas and helps you fall asleep at night when you’re done working. For this, Windows also has a setting that lets you schedule when the night light will turn on and off automatically.
Blocking blue light also cuts down on glare, which makes macular degeneration less likely. Macular degeneration is a long-term effect of blue light that affects the central part of the retina and causes vision to become blurry and distorted. So, people who spend a lot of time on digital screens, especially in the dark, should use this feature to protect their eyesight.
