Description
Bright, cool screens in the evening can be uncomfortable and may affect your sleep, while macOS gives limited control over how warmth and dimming change over time. ChillScreen adjusts both gradually, can learn from your corrections, lets you pause or exclude apps when accurate colours matter, and gives you much deeper control over how it behaves.

Could you build this?
Partial Building a native macOS menu bar app is manageable, but dynamically manipulating display gamma ramps, color temperature profiles, per-app exclusion hooks, and machine learning calibration requires low-level macOS graphics APIs.
What it would actually take: A native macOS Swift app needs integration with private or low-level CoreGraphics APIs (such as CGSetDisplayTransferByTable / IOMobileFramebuffer / CoreDisplay) to override system gamma and color profiles below Night Shift. Per-app exclusions require Accessibility API / NSWorkspace window focus listeners, and adaptive brightness requires local curve-fitting algorithms running continuously in the background with minimal power consumption.
