Just downloaded it on my Mac. I was already using the default Night Shift but I think this will ease my eye strain a lot more. I will start using it when I have a good sleeping schedule, right now I'm nocturnal 😬
When I’ve used it at night I noticed I was getting tired earlier; try it out tonight. Well, it may not work - make you sleeper - if you have led bulbs in your room or look at your phone. But it still helps with the eye strain 😊
I use redshift from CLI.
TIL :)
I used to on macOS and I think is amazing software. I was using the default night on Ubuntu but f.lux is more better than default night mode.
