Show HN: I built OLEDify to help save battery by pure-blacking your wallpapers
OLEDify converts regular dark wallpapers into Pure Black wallpapers (#000000 - pixel is off). Since the pure black pixels are off, it helps reduce battery use on the newer phones with OLED and AMOLED screens. More research on this can be found here:

iPhone X is the first iPhone with OLED screen. Even if your iPhone doesn't have an OLED screen, I find pure black wallpapers looks super crisp and nice!
I built this app from feedback from the /r/AmoledBackgrounds sub: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amoledbackgrounds/comments/95mz1l/i...

- The app is 100% free to use and has no ads. I noticed a few people requested a donate/tipping on the AmoledBackgrounds subreddit post, so there is a Tip Jar option but it's not required to unlock any features. Only if you really really find the app useful and wanna buy me a beer, you can use the tip jar. If you don't want Apple to take 30% cut, I setup a paypal here:
- The “Crop & Resize” tool in the app can be used to resize & fit wallpapers for your screen. This is useful when you have an image which doesn't perfectly fit your screen. You can create a new image of the suitable size for your screen size.
- The app also contains a "Post to Reddit" option which posts the edited wallpaper directly to the /r/AmoledBackgrounds sub.
- As you drag the sliders, the updates to the image happen in realtime on the GPU instead of CPU and are quite fast.
