Description
The comfort filter on Google Pixel ("Comfort View", Settings → Display & touch → Comfort filters) gives the display a warmer, pastel look. That is easy on the eyes but bad for taking photos: the viewfinder and the Photos preview get a colour cast. Unlike Night Light, Google offers no schedule and no API for it.
PixelComfort turns Comfort View off as soon as you open the camera or Google Photos and restores exactly the previous state when you leave. If the filter was off before, it stays off. Other settings (dynamic, intensity) are never touched.
Around that, PixelComfort bundles a few more small automations for your Pixel. Each one has its own card on the home screen and can be switched on separately.
Features
• Comfort View: pauses it in the apps you pick and restores it afterwards; main switch and Quick Settings tile to switch it by hand
• Private DNS by Wi‑Fi: off on your home Wi‑Fi (so e.g. AdGuard Home filters), on everywhere else
• Hide the mobile signal icon while Wi‑Fi is connected
• Auto-rotate only in the apps you choose, with a Quick Settings tile
• Always-on display by Bluetooth device or Wi‑Fi, e.g. off in the car
• Quick Settings tile for NFC
• Sliders for display size and font size, with plus/minus for fine steps and a Default button each
• App picker with icons and search
• History of what was paused, restored or switched, and what went wrong
• Notification when Shizuku isn't running
• Material You, light and dark, English and German
Requirements
• Android 13 or newer. Comfort View needs a Google Pixel with the comfort filter (Android 17, Pixel Drop March 2026 or later). Tested on a Pixel 10 Pro with Android 17.
• Shizuku installed and running – the Comfort View setting is locked for normal apps. Display size also uses Shizuku; most other features only need permissions that the app grants itself once via Shizuku.
• The app's accessibility service turned on. It only listens for which app is in the foreground and does not read screen content.
The location permission is only needed for Wi‑Fi rules (private DNS, always-on display), because Android reveals the Wi‑Fi name only to apps with location access. The Bluetooth permission is only used to notice which device connects; the app never scans. No data leaves the device; the app has no internet permission.
Use at your own risk: the app changes system settings. Not an official Google product. "Pixel" is a trademark of Google LLC.
