Screen Mercy

A wellness benefit your team feels every evening

Care that shows up on every screen, every night

ScreenMercy is a calm, science-backed benefit for the people who work late on their Macs. It warms their screens as the sun goes down, supporting healthier sleep and easing the strain of long hours. There is nothing to download and no habit to build, so everyone you give it to actually uses it.

Privacy-first. No employee data collected, ever. A genuine perk, not a tracker.

The problem

Your people give their best hours to a screen, and most wellness perks go unused

Engineers, support staff, analysts, and on-call teams spend long stretches in front of bright displays, often well past sunset. That late light works against their sleep, and poor sleep follows them into the next workday as fatigue, lower focus, and more missed days. Meanwhile, the apps you already pay for sit unopened, because most wellness perks ask for a habit your people do not have time to build.

The cost of poor sleep is real and measurable. Poor sleepers take more than twice as many unplanned absences as good sleepers, accounting for an estimated $44.6 billion in lost productivity each year (Gallup). A typical 1,000-person employer loses about $1 million a year to fatigue alone (National Safety Council).

The solution

A benefit they will actually use, every single day

Most wellness perks ask something of your people: download this, log that, build a habit. ScreenMercy asks for nothing. Once IT rolls it out, it quietly warms each person's screen in step with their own sunset and sunrise. There is no app to open, no streak to maintain, no data leaving their device. That makes it rare among benefits: visible, effortless, and used by everyone you give it to.

Grounded in real sleep science

The case rests on well-established circadian research, not wishful claims. Reducing evening screen light supports the body's natural wind-down (PNAS).

Effortless adoption, by design

No accounts, no onboarding, no behavior change required. Adoption equals deployment. Install it on 200 Macs and 200 people benefit, starting that evening.

Privacy your people can trust

Unlike many wellness apps, ScreenMercy collects no behavioral data. Nothing about your employees' habits is recorded or sent anywhere. The benefit is the benefit, with no quiet surveillance attached.

The value

A credible benefit that fits any budget

Companies already pay $12 to $64 per employee each year for mindfulness and sleep apps like Calm Business and Headspace for Work (Vendr marketplace data). ScreenMercy delivers a daily, tangible screen-comfort and sleep-support benefit for a fraction of that, with no renewal anxiety and a procurement story so simple it barely registers as a line item.

Wellness programs return an estimated $3 to $6 for every $1 invested (SHRM, citing HBR). Few benefits cost as little, or get used as consistently, as this one.

What your people feel

The kind of care people notice

Rolling out a fleet-wide screen-comfort tool is a quiet, visible signal that you are paying attention to how your team actually works and lives. For remote-first and engineering-heavy teams especially, it lands as genuine care for their wellbeing, not another portal they will never log into.

Support for healthier, more consistent sleep

A daily reminder that the company looks out for them

Trust and privacy

A wellness perk with nothing to hide

ScreenMercy makes zero outbound network calls and collects no employee data. There is no dashboard tracking your people, no analytics, no account. It is one of the few wellness tools you can offer with a clear conscience and a clean privacy review.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How is this different from the free Night Shift built into macOS?

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.

Is this another app our people have to learn?

No. There is nothing to open, log into, or maintain. Once it is installed, it works quietly on its own.

What is the science behind it?

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.

How does the cost compare to other wellness apps?

Mindfulness and sleep apps typically run $12 to $64 per employee per year. ScreenMercy annual team plans run roughly $12 to $24 per seat per year and ask nothing of your people to deliver value.

Do employees have to share location?

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.
