About this app

Welcome to the world of digital minimalism.

Pastelize allows you to smoothly regulate screen color saturation—from vibrant colors to muted pastel tones, all the way to E-ink display simulation or a purely grayscale mode.

- Less appealing content: A desaturated display is less addictive for the brain.
- Colorful real world: Thanks to the contrast with your phone, the world around you will seem more colorful and vivid.
- Healthier eyes: E-ink modes are gentler on your eyesight.

Reclaim your attention and your ability to focus. We live in an age of algorithms designed to exploit our dopamine system. The latest studies confirm that this constant assault on our senses has an alarming impact on our brain health.

Compatibility:
Pastelize relies on a system feature available on most devices with Android 15 & 16. However, compatibility varies by brand and is unfortunately outside of my control as a developer.

Ratings and reviews

Delightful app :) good colour scaling, great if you want to draw with colour palettes while greyscale as a challenge... I guess I'm not really using it for its intended purpose, but it's perfect for what I need it to do. Other apps offering greyscale filters had a bunch of other things involved; I don't want to lock down apps or make my home screen minimalist, I just want my screen to not have colour. this does just that! and to me that makes it perfect :3 ❤️❤️❤️ love from an artist!!

Does what it claims to do, wish there was a more fluid slider for adjusting colour vibrancy/saturation rather than a set number of notches to really dial things in. Also, the app needs to be relaunched/reset/re-enable wireless debugging every time your phone restarts - not sure if this is an issue that can be addressed given the permissions. That all being said - it's a handy app and worth the purchase price despite the hiccups.

Hello! This works without issues so far on Galaxy A55. I would respectfully request a preview/trial option for the eink mode before purchasing it. I've tried to get a preview within the app, but the eink is firmly locked behind the paywall. I also tried to find some sort of pictures or videos on the web, but no luck. Initially it would be great if you released some photos/videos of the eink mode, and then as phase 2 integrate a trial mode in the app. Really appreciate this great project!
