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 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. You could use f.lux because it makes you sleep better, or you could just use it just because it makes your computer look better. f.lux makes your computer screen look like the room you're in, all the time. When the sun sets, it makes your computer look like your indoor lights. In the morning, it makes things look like sunlight again. Tell f.lux what kind of lighting you have, and where you live. Then forget about it. f.lux will do the rest, automatically.

f.lux is a software designed to adjust your computer display's color temperature based on the time of day, enhancing comfort and potentially improving sleep quality. It automatically shifts to warmer tones in the evening, reducing blue light exposure, and reverts to cooler, daylight settings in the morning.

Key Features:

  • Automatic Color Adjustment: Adapts screen color to match indoor lighting at night and natural sunlight during the day.
  • Customizable Settings: Users can set preferred lighting types (e.g., incandescent or LED) and adjust brightness levels.
  • Location-Based Adaptation: Adjusts according to sunrise and sunset times based on your geographic location.
  • Health Benefits: Helps mitigate eye strain and may improve sleep patterns by minimizing blue light exposure in the evening.
  • Minimal System Impact: Runs efficiently with low resource usage, ensuring smooth performance.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for professionals who work late hours, students, and individuals sensitive to screen brightness. f.lux enhances comfort during extended computer use and supports better sleep hygiene without interrupting workflow. It can be installed via winget, making it easy to integrate into your system setup.
