LightBulb
Background application that adjusts screen gamma, making the colors appear warmer at night, reducing strain on your eyes.
What is LightBulb?
LightBulb is an application that reduces eye strain produced by staring at a computer screen when working late hours. As the day goes on, it continuously adjusts gamma, transitioning the display color temperature from cold blue in the afternoon to warm yellow during the night. Its primary objective is to match the color of the screen to the light sources of your surrounding environment - typically, sunlight during the day and artificial light during the night. LightBulb has minimal impact on performance and offers many customization options.

TimPl Downvoted a comment on LightBulbDeveloper has started to pester users with messages about the Russian-Ukrainian war on both his GitHub page and program startup and thus jeopardized user experience over his personal ideals while forcing others to comply with him (at least in his head). Hope he takes some time off.- iammaybe liked LightBulbia
The author describes why, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/osugame/comments/5rpq1q/lightbulb_gamingfriendly_flux_alternative/
At first, it didn't work, because of a Windows Update. (You can read about it here: https://github.com/Tyrrrz/LightBulb/issues/100)
After deleting two registry keys, it works like a charm. Better than f.lux, imho.

Indeed ... I'm a bit bothered that it sometimes makes the software unusable.

if it wasnt for political tool id gave it 5 stars
Very great software. I couldn't stand the bugs in flu.x anymore so I looked up an alternative and this popped up. The minus star is because there is often a bug when the message for Ukraine won't go away, and the software need to be reset.
I was looking into this application when I stumbled upon the "terms of use", all of which were politically-charged garbage that makes me nauseous. I don't trust any developer who would post garbage like that.
The developer has unfortunately lost his marbles and pesters users with message about the Russian-Ukrainian war and thinks he can force people to comply with his ideals, at the cost of user experience.
