    RedshiftGUI changes the color temperature of your monitor to better match that of your surrounding. This means that it sets a cooler color temperature during the daytime (due to natural lighting) and sets a warmer temperature at night (due to indoor lighting). Similar to f.

    You can set the exact time to dim screens, just like Twilight, and it not only adjusts colour but dims screen brightness, too. Two things that the leading competitor, Flux, doesn't do.

    CF.lumen - don't let your phone blind you! CF.lumen changes the colors of your Android device's display based on the position of the sun. With the default settings, your display will get a warmer tint (lower color temperature) when the sun is down, to look more like indoo.

    It seems technically better... it alters display gamma curve instead of just overlaying a semi-transparent filter like most of the others do.
