A note from Luna

We’re not building another app. We’re building the one filter you’ll keep — and never think about again.

— Mira, founder · prev. iOS at a sleep-tracking company

The problem

Your screen at midnight is brighter than a hotel lobby.

Most phones drop to about 4 nits at minimum. Candlelight is closer to 1. The brightness gap between “dark mode” and actually-dark is where your evenings go missing.

01 · MELATONIN

Blue cones run the clock.

Your eyes have a third type of cell — ipRGC — that listens for blue light specifically. It tells your brain whether it’s noon or 9pm. Phones lie to it, every night.

02 · DEEP RED

Red passes through quietly.

Wavelengths above 620nm barely register on those cells. Astronomers, submariners, and night nurses have used red light for a century. Your phone can, too.

03 · YOUR EVENING

An hour back, every night.

Beta testers slept on average 38 minutes earlier in the first two weeks. Not because Luna nags. Because the screen stops feeling like a fluorescent ceiling.

What’s inside

Four ideas. Nothing else.

01 · TONE & STRENGTH

Dial it like a dimmer.
Not a switch.

Three tones — amber, red, deep red — and a continuous strength slider. Preview your photos with the filter applied before you commit. No mystery, no oversaturated “night mode.”

  • Smooth, real-time preview — what you see is what you’ll feel
  • Three tones tuned for reading, falling asleep, and 3am
  • Optional dim layer for screens already at minimum brightness

02 · MODES FOR THE MOMENT

Reading. Sleeping.
Three a.m.

Save your favourite combinations as modes. Switch with one tap from the lock screen, the home widget, or your phone’s Control Centre. Or let the schedule do it for you.

  • Preset modes: Reading, Sleeping, Theatre, Midnight
  • Build your own — name it, save it, summon it
  • Per-app overrides (Kindle warm, Maps off)

03 · ON SCHEDULE

Sunset turns it on.
Sunrise lets it go.

Luna knows where the sun is. Set it once and forget. Or pick exact times. Or use a manual switch — we don’t care how you sleep, only that you do.

  • Auto-sync to your local sunset / sunrise
  • Fades in over 20 minutes so your eyes don’t notice
  • One-tap manual override that respects the schedule

04 · PRIVATE BY DESIGN

No account.
No analytics.
No nonsense.

Luna ships with one network permission: checking for updates. That’s it. We don’t know when you sleep, what you read, or that you exist. We make better software because we don’t have a dashboard telling us not to.

  • Zero telemetry — independently audited at v1
  • No sign-in, no email required to use the app
  • Works fully offline (sunset uses on-device location)

Questions

Before you reserve.

Am I paying for a finished app right now? +
No — and we want to be honest about that. You’re reserving a spot in the founders’ release. The app is in private beta on iOS and starting Android development. If we don’t ship a v1 by December 2026, every reservation is refunded automatically. No emails to chase, no forms.
Why $7 instead of free? +
Because free apps need to make money somewhere — usually your attention or your data. We’d rather one of you pay us $7 once than ten thousand of you pay us in tracking pixels. The price triples at launch because the early money is what lets us avoid investors.
How is this different from Night Shift or built-in blue-light modes? +
Built-in modes shift the whole display warm, all at once, often with a hard cutoff. Luna lets you choose the tone (amber to deep red), the strength (a real slider), and the schedule (auto sunset, custom, or off entirely). It also previews how everything will look before you flip the switch — most filters don’t.
Does it really work without an account? +
Yes. Your preferences live on your phone. Sunset times are computed locally using iOS / Android location APIs you can refuse. The only network call Luna makes is checking for updates — and you can turn that off too.
What happens if I’m spot 101? +
Founders’ pricing closes at 100. You can join the waitlist for $14.99launch pricing — which is still cheaper than a single month of every other “wellness” app on the App Store.
iOS, Android, both? +
iOS first (private beta now). Android starts the moment we hit 100 reservations. Your $7 includes both — when each is ready, you get a download link by email.

Reserve spot 1.

$6.99. One time. Refunded automatically if we don’t ship by year-end. The internet’s least scary checkout.
