Finding the same spot on a slider every night gets old
A slider is great for fine tuning and slow for everything else. Most evenings you want one of a handful of settings, and you want it now.
With a slider alone
- Hunting for the right spot every evening
- No way to get back to the setting you liked yesterday
- Different settings for work and for winding down
With Sundown
- Seven named presets, from Energy to Midnight
- One Custom preset saved from your own settings
- Up to six pinned as colours in the menu bar panel
- Command 1 to 5 for the first five pinned presets

Your own warmth, saved in one slot and ready in the same row as the rest.

Questions
Preset questions
How many presets are there?
Seven built in, Energy, Flow, Reading, Glow, Evening, Relax and Midnight, plus one Custom preset you save from your own settings.
Can I make my own?
Yes, one. Set the Warmth where you like it, open the Presets tab and press Update with current settings on the Custom card.
Can I switch presets from the keyboard?
Yes. Command 1 to 5 apply the first five presets pinned to the panel, and you can rebind them in the Keyboard tab.
Can presets change on their own during the day?
Yes. Sundown's schedule lets you pick a preset for each time of day, and the screen eases from one to the next.
