Universal Ambient Light

Universal Ambient Light is a free and open-source Android application that brings Ambilight-style lighting to your setup.
It captures your screen in real time and sends color data to LED controllers — so your lights match what’s happening on your display.
The project is developed and maintained independently.
The core application will always remain free.

• Real-time screen capture on Android
• Works on phones, tablets and Android TV
• No root required
• No cloud or external servers
• Compatible with Hyperion / HyperHDR
• WLED support
• Adalight support
• Local network communication
• Open-source development

💛 Why support the project?

Universal Ambient Light has:
• No paid version
• No premium features
• No subscriptions inside the app
Everything in the main release is available to everyone.
Boosty is simply a way to support ongoing development if you find the app useful and want to help it grow.
Your support allows me to:
• Spend more time improving performance and stability
• Fix bugs faster
• Expand hardware compatibility
• Keep the project sustainable long-term
Even small support makes a real difference.

🧪 Experimental Builds

Some advanced features — such as external USB camera support — require separate builds and additional testing.
Higher support tiers include access to experimental APK builds. These versions may contain early-stage or advanced functionality and are intended for testing and feedback.
