Ring light for video calls - your screen edges become a soft studio light


Look great on every video call - no extra hardware needed.

Screen Edge Light turns the edges of your monitor into a soft, adjustable ring
light that lights up your face for Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Discord, OBS and
streaming. It sits on top of everything and lets every click pass straight
through, so you keep working normally while it glows.

Features

  • Studio presets - Soft Key, Warm Studio, Daylight, Cool and Candle, one click each
  • Studio Flood - a wide, soft glow that actually casts light on you, or a classic thin glowing border
  • Spotlight - instant full-brightness boost, one more click to go back
  • Color temperature - from crisp cool daylight to warm candlelight
  • Brightness, spread, border thickness, distance from edge and corner roundness
  • Auto day / night - warmer and dimmer in the evening, bright and neutral at midday
  • Match screen colors - tints the light to what's on your screen (X11 sessions)
  • Click-through overlay - never blocks your desktop
  • Start on login - your light is ready before your first meeting
  • Keyboard shortcut - bind screen-edge-light --toggle to any key in Settings > Keyboard

All settings are remembered between sessions. Free and open source (MIT).
