![]() ![]() Setting up your dayĪs the day progresses, f.lux will move between its three light settings automatically. There’s even a way to sleep in on weekends. If you need to do color-sensitive work, now you can run at full brightness until just before bed, and then f.lux will wind you down just in time to sleep. (For instance, you can now use f.lux if you work the night shift, if you wake up at 3AM, or if you live in Oslo.) We suggest some default colors for people in different situations. To have all this new stuff, all you do is tell f.lux when you wake up: ![]() Especially if you’re a night owl, this number is a super-interesting way to think about your day, and we hope it’s useful to you too. How many hours of sunlight could you see with your current schedule?Ī healthy circadian rhythm depends on seeing bright light while you’re awake, not just avoiding bright light before bed. But one number stood out so much that we had to put it up front. Usually, we try to make things visual and avoid using tons of numbers. It’s really easy to set up, and it looks pretty good too. You may find you want a more moderate effect at sunset now, because the bedtime setting can be more intense. ![]() We’ve even tried to time this second phase with your body’s natural release of melatonin. But then later, around the time you would start feeling sleepy, we do a little more, helping you get to bed on time. With the new f.lux, your screen warms up to make things look better at sunset. Here’s how it looks:į.lux now shows you when the sun’s up and helps you wind down for sleep. We found a way to combine your day with sunrise and sunset. ![]() The new version of f.lux makes a schedule just for you, so you can use a screen that knows when you sleep, as well as when the sun’s up. There are tons of new effects and adjustments.It looks nice, showing you a visualization of your day.f.lux adjusts to your actual day, not just sunrise and sunset.f.lux now works with your actual schedule We’re sort of nervous and excited about it, because we tried so many things before we figured it out. This new version has been in progress for a long time. We’re happy to announce a new update to f.lux for Mac today. Also check out our measurement project, f.luxometer. Melanopic lux analysis A new screen analyzer in the About box.So this new version should have less impact on those systems especially. Less CPU We made improvements to the profile writer for dual-GPU macs.You can find this feature in the Options menu. We prefer accurate color during the day, but quite a few people have asked for extra control like this. Expanded daytime settings For users who prefer very warm settings during the day, we’ve made an option that lets the sliders go all the way to 1900K, all the time.Also, we’ve tuned up behavior at night and in the morning for “bedtime” mode: the night-time and early morning transitions are longer now. Now it transitions quickly to daylight instead. Better transitions If you woke up your laptop late in the day, f.lux used to do a very slow transition (as if you were “used to” the orange color).Backwards alarm clock For years we’ve wanted an alarm clock that answers the question, “How much sleep will I get if I go to bed now?” So we made a little version of it for f.lux.Check out the “Options” menu for this feature. Dim on disable It’s always been painful to disable f.lux for a color check or late-night design work, so we’ve provided a new option that dims your screen (a lot) when you disable.Fixed map popup when you change timezones (now you can tell it’s f.lux).Bugs fixed for Catalina (and Mojave): dimming fixes, white cursor fixes, entitlements and notarization.Some workarounds for “white cursor” problems.V41 and 42.1 (Apple Silicon and bugfixes) (Single displays will work but multiple ones will not.) Fixes for Ventura including full-screen disable. ![]()
