Profiles per application
Assign a saved color profile and let SightAdapt activate it when that application becomes active.
Free and open source · Windows 10 and 11 · Alpha
Adapt the application in front of you.
SightAdapt is a free, open-source Windows application for per-application visual accessibility and color correction.
SightAdapt™ applies configurable color correction to individual Windows application windows. Keep the rest of the desktop unchanged, assign profiles per application and stop every overlay immediately when needed.
Current source version

One app at a time
Change one application, not your entire desktop.
System-wide display filters can affect every monitor, application and notification. SightAdapt targets the active application through a separate overlay, allowing different applications to use different visual profiles while unrelated windows remain unchanged.

Core capabilities
Focused controls. Clear boundaries.
Profiles, scopes and shortcuts are built around individual Windows applications.
Native-menu correction
Use the application profile for native popup menus or assign a separate menu profile.
Flexible overlay scope
Choose the client area, full window, current screen or all screens.
Editable visual profiles
Adjust black and white output, brightness, contrast, saturation and hue.
Manual and automatic
Toggle the active window temporarily or save an automatic application assignment.
Immediate shutdown
Remove active overlays through the notification-area emergency-disable command.
Quick start
Three steps to a per-application profile.
Select an application
Choose an application from configuration or activate its window.
Choose a profile
Start with None, Exact invert, Soft invert or create a custom profile.
Enable the assignment
Save automatic behavior or use the temporary keyboard shortcut.
Built-in starting points
Profiles are choices, not prescriptions.
None
Leave the application unchanged.
Exact invert
Apply a fixed full inversion.
Soft invert
Use an editable lower-intensity starting profile.
Custom
Duplicate and adjust for a particular application or display.
Visual preferences are individual. SightAdapt does not choose a medically appropriate profile and does not replace professional advice.
Privacy by boundary
Local settings. No screen-content upload.
SightAdapt stores its configuration locally. The current alpha does not transmit captured screen content, inject code into target applications or install a kernel driver. Application assignments may include executable paths and file metadata stored in the local settings file.
