Reclaim the side of your screen as lighting to illuminate your face on video calls. Show up more clearly (and reduce visible screen flicker if browsing tabs!) https://goldenhourapp.com

This is one of those apps that makes you go “oh yeah that’s totally an obvious project, why didn’t i make that?”

Very nice!

I own an elegato Key Light but gave you my $5 because this is clever. Thanks for sharing!

Nifty idea. can you elaborate why this vs having a saved image of whatever color I want to pop open?

Very cool app. Being able to set the color is great in different light conditions.

Interesting, maybe just use white instead of yellow? Mostly it is a problem that people have too little light when they do video calls.

Hi! GoldenHour creator here. You can set that using the slider in the app! You get a full range of color temperatures.
