And yet Apple recently forced f.lux to take down the sideloaded version of their iOS app despite the fact that they have no public APIs available to do what f.lux does. See here: https://justgetflux.com/sideload/#notanymore HN Posting: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10556375
I don't understand why Google hasn't implemented this yet. It's easy to do that and has a huge value. I always had to root my phone just to do this.
While I do think my Mac is overly blue, I also think that f.lux is ridiculously yellow. I've turned down the yellowness considerably compared to the defaults, and still find myself turning it off in the evening, because suddenly everything becomes washy yellow.
If you allow your eyes to adapt, the yellowness really isn’t a big deal, unless you’re doing something color sensitive like making art. Just stop worrying about precisely what colors are on screen. Even if you’re casually looking at photographs, watching a television show, or playing a game, your eyes can compensate pretty well for a significant reduction in the amount of blue light, and you can have a perfectly acce…
It's called the power off button? Seriously, what is wrong with people, turn the thing off. Future "news": Food needs to stop being so tasty so people don't eat too much.
That said, I could turn off wifi and cellular data, but that's one more thing to remember to do every night. I suppose if you find the temptation overwhelming, it could be worth it though.
My point is just that turning off the phone is not as simple of a decision as you make it sound.
Or people just need to put the phone down before going to sleep. Every non-infantile responsible adult is capable of that. How hard can it be ?
Anybody know if f.lux is working on an Android version? Their FAQ is mute on the issue.
There is something like f.lux for Android. It's called Twilight.
For Linux users I can highly recommend Redshift[1]. The color temperature settings seem to differ some from f.lux but everything else works great! [1] http://jonls.dk/redshift/
My brain must be wired up differently, but the best way for me to fall asleep is by watching youtube videos on my iPad. When I'm sufficiently tired, it's a matter of minutes before I'm asleep.
Ahh, here are two links which mention those days: http://www.salon.com/2014/02/18/how_jimmy_fallon_and_the_roo... and https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/w... .

I and most of my acquaintances no longer have a traditional landline phone. My smartphone is the only way to contact me in an emergency. If friends or family need to reach me to extricate them from a bad situation or come to the hospital, etc., I want to be reachable. It's only happened a few times in my life, thankfully, but I don't like the idea of being completely unreachable until I wake up and turn my phone back…
it's a pull down, one click if you set it up right
also, some phones with 5.1 or 6.0 can change modes automatically depending on time of day and can turn off mobile data and wifi - you can leave voice enabled for "emergencies"
