f.lux

[John]

In case you're not aware of this God-sent computer tool, allow me to inform you. f.lux is a program that takes the hard colors off of your computer screen at night to make it into a "cool" colored screen. f.lux is even awesome during the day time. It turns your computer more to a "warm" type color. If you're someone who works at their computer all day, this is a must have. The stress it's able to take off your eyes is amazing. I have it on my phone and laptop. Have you tried this amazing program? If you haven't, what's stopping you?

Use it in my mobile, auto changes display depending in time of day

I tried this, but couldn't really stand it unfortunately. I need the colors on my screen to be correct for some reason. Could be because I do a lot of designing and such.

Same, nothing works fine if you see everything in red.

I've been using this for five years and it's truly a lot easier on the eyes. I use it around two hours before bed time, otherwise allowing my eyes glued to a bright, blue screen—which suppresses melatonin, the hormone that helps us sleep—all the time will only hinder my sleep. I have a ridiculously hard time going to kip without the aid of this app; it's crucial to me because it's part of my routine to check emails and attend to other important matters using my computer every night.

I used to sideload f.lux to have the same effect on my phone, but thankfully we're finally going to have a similar, native functionality called Night Shift and it's going to be bundled with iOS 9.3 that's set for release some time next month. Glad they looked into the health benefits of a warmer screen.

I'm a designer, but considering most of my work is done during the day I have no qualms with this app. I only ever use it at night, which is when my eyes need it most.

I recently got it and it is okay. I only really use it at night time and it is a little bit weird when I first started using it but it feels quite good for the eyes now at night.
