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.

This app completely resets Windows calibration settings and the developers aren't willing to fix it even though the issue has been oepnly addressed on their forum multiple times. This makes it completely unusable for me since all my black colors turn to grey and if you're using Windows calibration, you won't be able to use it neither.
This app is great... I've had problems with insomnia for as long as I can remember. Within 30 minutes of downloading and installing this app last night (@4 in the morning), I fell asleep with my laptop on the couch. There's definitely something to this "blue" spectrum thing.
I installed it a few days ago and I slept very well too :-)

I have it on a Asus laptop with the ASUS Splendid Technology. When I't runs the screen blinks, and I'm only able to stop it if I run the Eye Care Switcher that is part of the Asus Splendid tools.
Just an amazing tool for your eyes' health
