This is fantastic! I had greyscale on many years ago, but I had to turn turn colours back on for google maps... but this trick allows me to have my cake and eat it too!

#22Can remember how I set it up. Tap the back of my iphone 3 times and it toggles greyscale. Makes taking and looking at photos nice.

That's pretty nifty -- how to you register taps on back with automation?
I'm still looking for a way to preserve the low-color feel for my macbooks and mac desktops. Also I love the idea of low-dopamine UIs in principle.
For same reasons as the original author, I find myself to abandon the B&W mode and then do not turn it back on later.
I'd envision OS layer that handles the desktop, finder and apps, and an API that apps like browsers can use, e.g. in chrome extensions.
Anyone here aware of work in that area?

#27Setting up triple click to toggle greyscale on or off in accessibility settings whenever I need color enabled works much better for me

#28Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why do you think Pokemon makes the cards super bright and shiny :)
No need to get specific. Look at any retail packaging. Look at any advertisement. Bright and shiny always gets the attention. You've never read anyone reply "ooh, grayscale". It's always "Ooooh, shiny"

#29Accessibility > Vibration > Off Removes a lot of purposefully rewarding/manipulating haptics. Makes a phone feel "quiet" and easier to put down.

#30Not sure if it's the lack of color in general or because screens kind of turn into a black and white mush that's hard to navigate.
