Booklight - reading light

Turn your phone into a soft, adjustable book light for reading at night.

Booklight is a simple screen light, reading lamp and night light that helps you illuminate a paperback, magazine or nearby space without switching on a bright room light. Choose your favourite colour, adjust the brightness and enjoy a gentle light that stays on while you read.

Join thousands of readers who have chosen Booklight for comfortable reading after dark. Perfect for reading in bed, travelling, relaxing, working at a desk or creating colourful photography.

A book light that is always with you
No bedside lamp? No problem. Use your phone screen as a portable reading light and angle it towards the pages of your book. The soft, even display light is a practical alternative to a harsh camera flash and helps you read without lighting the whole room or disturbing someone nearby.

Choose the right light for every story
Create the atmosphere that feels right for your book and surroundings. Explore a wide selection of warm, cool and colourful themes, including amber, gold, orange, red, pink, purple, blue, cyan, teal, green, lime, grey and white.

Fine-tune the screen brightness and colour intensity for anything from a subtle dim light to a richer, more vivid glow. Booklight remembers your choices, so your preferred reading light is ready the next time you open the app.

Calm light with a little movement
Make your night light feel more atmospheric with a soft centre glow or gentle animated effects. Choose flowing Waves or drifting Mist to add subtle movement while you read, relax or set the mood.

Bookmark your current page
Save the page number where you stopped reading and quickly find your place when you return to your book. Your bookmark is always close on the Home screen.

Save quotes, notes and ideas
Capture a memorable quote, a thought about the story or an idea that arrives while you read. Create notes directly from Home or Fullscreen, browse your saved thoughts and edit them whenever you like.

Sleep timer for bedtime reading
Reading before sleep? Set the timer using hours, minutes and seconds. Booklight closes automatically when the timer ends, making it a convenient bedside light or gentle night lamp.

Make Booklight yours
Personalise the Home screen with the controls you use most. Keep quick access to brightness, Fullscreen, Torch, Bookmark and Notes, and adjust the transparent glass interface to complement your selected colour.
