F.lux

F.lux is a super handy macOS app that changes your Mac's screen color based on the time of day. It keeps your display bright during the day and switches to a warmer tone at sunset and night.

Why F.lux is Great for Your Eyes

We all love our bright, clear screens when we're working, playing, or just browsing online. But let’s be real: staring at those bright colors in low light can really strain our eyes. That’s where F.lux comes in to save the day (or night)!

Adjusts to Your Schedule

This app helps you work late at night or during night shifts without making your eyes feel like they’re on fire. F.lux adjusts your screen colors to match the lighting in your room, making it easier on your eyes.

Smooth Transitions Throughout the Day

Your Mac will start out bright and crisp when you begin your day, and as time goes on, it will gradually shift colors to fit the lighting conditions around you.

A Smart Learning Tool

F.lux learns about your daily routine. It warms up your screen as sunset approaches and creates a cozy effect closer to bedtime. This means you can avoid those harsh lights right before sleep or while working late.

Easy Customization Options

You can easily access F.lux’s Preferences window to set when you usually kick off your day and even try out different color settings for various times. The app automatically switches between three light modes throughout the day!

Create Your Own Color Scheme

If you're not feeling the default color options, no worries! You can create a custom color scheme tailored just for you, tweaking the colors for Daytime, Sunset, and Bedtime.

Special Modes for Movie Lovers

If you're ready for movie night, just click on F.lux's status bar menu and activate Movie Mode for two and a half hours! You'll enjoy watching films in a warm glow without losing any details like shadows or skin tones. Plus, there are options like Darkroom mode if you're into some serious editing or want to pause F.lux until sunrise.
