One key
pauses warming instantly for color-critical work.
For design, photo, video, and creative teams on Mac
ScreenMercy warms your screen through the evening to ease long hours of work, and steps aside the moment color accuracy matters. Set per-app rules so your color-critical tools always render true, pause everything with a single keystroke, and tune each display on a multi-monitor setup independently.
Per-app rules. Per-display control. One-key pause. Zero telemetry.
The problem
Creative teams work some of the longest evening hours of any function, and the toll of late screen time is the same for them as for anyone: shifting your screen toward warmer tones in the evening eases light load and supports your natural wind-down, while bright, cool light late at night does the opposite (on warm versus cool light and melatonin, Teran et al. 2026, Scientific Reports). The catch is obvious. A tool that warms your screen also shifts your color, and for a colorist, retoucher, or designer, that is unacceptable when the work is color-critical. So creatives turn these tools off entirely and lose the benefit on every other hour of the day.
That is a false choice. The right tool warms the screen when color does not matter and disappears the instant it does.

The solution
ScreenMercy gives creative teams the control that generic night modes do not. It warms the screen through the evening for comfort, and hands you precise, instant ways to protect any moment that depends on accurate color.
Tell ScreenMercy to leave your color-critical applications untouched. Your editing, grading, and design tools always render at their true color, automatically, while everything else stays comfortable.
On a multi-monitor setup, warm your reference and reading displays while keeping your color-critical monitor exactly as calibrated. Each screen is tuned independently.
A single hotkey pauses all warming the instant you need to judge color, then resumes when you are done. No menus, no friction, no second-guessing what your eyes are seeing.
The value
Because ScreenMercy respects color work by default, your creative team actually keeps it on, which means they get the benefit on every long evening instead of switching it off and forgetting it. It runs roughly $16 to $24 per seat per year, and less at volume. For a team whose eyes are their instrument and whose hours run late, that is a small, thoughtful investment in the people doing the most demanding visual work in your company.
The per-app and per-display controls are part of the paid Pro tier. For color-critical teams, that control is the entire point.
Trust and privacy

FAQ
Night Shift is a basic built-in feature with a limited warmth range, limited scheduling, no team deployment story, and no per-display or per-app control. Some users also report that it behaves inconsistently after sleep, updates, or display changes. ScreenMercy is purpose-built for deeper screen comfort: real sun-position timing using optional macOS Location Services or manually entered coordinates, richer controls, and a team-ready deployment path.
Push the signed, notarized package through Jamf, Kandji, Mosyle, Intune, or another MDM that supports macOS package deployment. A single license key or pre-activation file covers the team. Most fleets are live in under an afternoon.
No. There is nothing to open, log into, or maintain. Once it is installed, it works quietly on its own.
None. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no outbound network calls. Everything runs on the device.
Evening screen light has been shown to suppress melatonin and delay sleep onset (PNAS). ScreenMercy reduces that evening light in step with the natural day, which supports the body's normal wind-down. We are careful to make sleep and circadian claims, which the science supports, and not eye-disease claims, which it does not.
No. Auto-location is optional. Employees can type coordinates manually and never grant macOS Location Services permission. Either way, location is only used locally for solar calculations and is not transmitted by the product app.
