  • red-moon

    Android screen filter app for night time phone use.

  • Back in the day before operating systems copied the feature there were tons of Android apps that added a red shift on top of your screen by drawing over other applications (i.e. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.csk.app.sh..., https://github.com/LibreShift/red-moon). This usually breaks/doesn't work with banking apps and other such secure contexts but for most apps that's probably fine.

    Sounds like you should be able to do this by just modifying Red Moon to draw a more complex overlay. If the entire screen is affected equally, the stock app may just be all you need!

  • AutoEq

    Automatic headphone equalization from frequency responses

  • I use AutoEQ (https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq) for my headphones. It works by "parsing frequency response measurements and producing equalization settings which correct the headphone to a neutral sound". They also have a huge database of already measured and equalized data, which is what I use.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • gse-shader

    Gnome-Shell Extension. Allow you to use any shader on top of your screen

  • https://github.com/Hello1024/gse-shader

    I use it to make sure a 'sensitive' pixel on my screen never turns on (it's a row of pixels which, if the difference between it and the pixels to the side have more than a certain difference in brightness, the whole screen fails - presumably due to a power supply fault in the column driver circuitry).
