f.lux automatically adjusts your screen to filter out blue light that can cause issues with sleep and eye strain. Ive been using this for years and it really is fantastic. do some research and find out for yourself.... :)
They also recently released a version for iPhone, but was taken down by apple. There is an easy way round this and again it works great, automatically adjusting the screen...

If you are installing this on Android, and you attempt to install an app through apk. The install button will NOT work due to this app!

Many thanks. I'm currently downloading X-code off App Store and f.lux off github as Apple forced f.lux to pull the files...

I must admit it's altered my usage for the better. Seriously tempted to jailbreak my iPhone just to use this...
My eyes are always stinging especially at night. Will defo give this a try. Thanks

It may be a little weird at first, but you will get used to it. Make the colour temperature fairly high to start with, then after a few days lower it more.

I have used this in the past for iphones and its great. It's a shame that you still have to Jailbrake to use it though. I use twilight on my android phone which is a pretty good app too

Have this on my Pc at work. God it was depressing when it kicked in soon after the clocks went back. Knew the long cold winter was about to start...

Does anyone know if I get this on my iPhone if I have a pc rather than a Mac? The phone isn't jailbroken. Thanks

If you want it for iOS all you need to do is install Xcode on your mac and sideload (takes about 5 minutes once installed) no need for a jailbroken phone.
I saw this, pffted, and downloaded it so I could comment negatively.

I love it.

True, as I used to have this on an old iPhone (jail broken). But never thought I could do this on my Mac.

Used it since 2013, haven't looked back since. Can be disabled for an hour by pressing Alt+End which is very handy for gaming and the likes. Heat added!

I've been using this for years, it uses up about 13MB of RAM which is nothing.
You can also temporarily disable it for films/games as well.

good program but imo having any sort of blue filters makes it look ugly, however this is use to some so heat added

There is a decent program like this for Android if anyone is interested. it'd called Twilight and can be found on the Google play store. I use it on my tablet in the evenings :smile:

Use this on my Mac and also my (jailbroken) iPhone.
It's really does help. Sometimes I disable it on the computer, and I find I can stay up for ages. If I've got it going, I start to feel tired when I should!
Thoroughly recommended!

Can still get it if you're jailbroken

Great app been using it for about 4 weeks. Screen is definitely easier on the eyes at night. Quite scary how blue the display is when you disable it. My bet is that Apple will do something similar hence wanting to get rid of this.
Does anyone know of any alternatives I can get from the App Store ( rather than random 3rd party website like this)?
I use koala browser myself but like the sound of this type of thing.

I've been using this for years, I'm not convinced it helps me sleep better, but it certainly makes the screen easier on the eye under artificial light.

During the day, computer screens look good—they're designed to look like the sun. But, at 9PM, 10PM, or 3AM, you probably shouldn't be looking at the sun.
