Flux…Ever notice how people texting at night have that eerie blue glow?
Or wake up ready to write down the Next Great Idea, and get blinded by your computer screen?
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.
f.lux
F.lux fixes this: it makes the color of your computer's display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day.
It's even possible that you're staying up too late because of your computer.
What's New
Version 13.0: Release notes were unavailable when this listing was updated.
Got this app after reading an article about problems sleeping that listed late computer-use as a possible cause. It's working for me so far--three days now. Get the download from the dev's website though.
I think the developer and Mac Update got their wires crossed. When I used the link on this page I got an old version of Flux. I had to go to the developer's web site to get what is apparently the current version, 12. As far as I can tell the version listed on this page, 13 doesn't exist.
When I got an automatic update info pane 10 days ago when I opened my Mac, it told me F.lux was updated to v. 13 and to click to update it. But it is true that nowhere on your Mac or on the developer website a clear mention of the version number is displayed. However, a small mention of the beta F.lux 14 (with a link to d/l it) is written on the dev. web page.
I often burn the midnight oil. I've found this utility a real manna from heaven because it soothes my weary eyes and allows me to stay in front of my monitor for long hours. Thank you for having brought to late-night users such a great tool. Fariborz AMIRSHAHI - Verona (Italy)
