Calming monochrome light

Turn your device into a luminous tool for night calm, colour work, and close-up craft.

Noxtra keeps things simple: a radiant full-screen light, fast hue and chroma control, exact colour values, and a low-distraction interface that stays awake while you use it.

No ads, no clutter, no accounts
Built for iPhone, iPad, and Apple silicon Mac compatibility
Useful as a bedside glow, macro light, and live colour reference

A light should feel immediate. Noxtra opens into a pure field of colour, lets you fine-tune the atmosphere in seconds, and then gets out of the way.

Evening light without the harshness

Use Noxtra as a bedside glow, a gentle night lamp, or a quick low-distraction light source when getting up in the dark.

Close-up and macro lighting

Add a subtle hue to reflective surfaces, shape tiny highlights, and use your phone or tablet as a compact creative accessory.

Live colour reference

Tune hue, chroma, brightness, and alpha visually, then copy HTML hex or RGBA values with a tap or edit exact values directly.

Fast interaction

Made to disappear when you want only the light.

Single tap reveals or dismisses the interface. Double tap toggles brightness and chroma. Hold the colour buttons to enter exact values. The screen stays awake while the app is active on iPhone and iPad.
