Description

Dims everything Anki draws, and can repaint it in absolute #000000 black for OLED/AMOLED screens.

Brightness

A slider sits at the top of Tools β†’ AMOLED Night Mode, so brightness can be changed without opening a dialog. Drag it and the study screen follows immediately.

It dims the whole interface: deck list, toolbar, study screen, editor, graphs, and optionally menus and dialogs too. This is a true brightness control rather than a grey wash, so black pixels stay black at every setting.

Absolute black (AMOLED)

Replaces Anki's dark grey with real #000000. On an OLED/AMOLED panel black pixels are switched off entirely, so this cuts power draw and removes screen glow in a dark room. Text and accent colours are configurable, and card backgrounds can be forced black while reviewing.

Warmth

Optional blue-light reduction for late-night study. It uses a multiply blend, so blacks stay at zero instead of turning muddy orange.

Settings window

Usage

  • Tools β†’ AMOLED Night Mode β€” brightness slider and quick toggles
  • Ctrl+Alt+N β€” settings window, previews every change live
  • Ctrl+Alt+B β€” toggle absolute black
  • Ctrl+Alt+D β€” toggle the add-on entirely
  • Ctrl+Alt+, / Ctrl+Alt+. β€” darker / brighter

Every shortcut, colour and threshold is configurable.

Notes

  • Absolute black is built on top of Anki's dark theme, so the add-on switches to it automatically. That can be turned off.
  • This dims what Anki draws. It does not change your monitor's backlight, and it cannot repaint the window title bar, which the operating system draws.
  • Disabling the add-on restores Anki's original colours exactly.

Tested on Anki 25.09 (Qt6).
