#2I've tried to use it for a while, but couldn't get used to it and deactivated it again.
It's just been unusual to me that my screen was being tinted/shaded..

Both my wife and I use it. I don't work with images at all so it works out fine. I now find the slight tint very pleasant.

#4I love f.lux. It does take a bit of getting used to, but if you wait it out, you'll enjoy it. And, the research they've done on light is quite impressive too: http://stereopsis.com/flux/research.html
That being said, this has been around for a while, so I wonder why it's trending now. They haven't put out any recent updates afaik

#5I've been using this for a year or so, both on my computer and on my iPad. It really does reduce the stress on your eyes.

#6It's available for iOS but not for Android? I didn't even know you could do that on iOS.

#7As long as seeing correct color is not important to you. I'm the kind of person who can immediately tell when an LCD is not at native resolution and what temperature the color is set at, so the strong yellow tint of f.lux was unbearable.
If your eyes hurt at night, just alter your brightness contrast, or write a script to do that instead of messing with color!

Just install it during the day. You'll be inseparable by the evening.

#10I used f.lux for a few months last year, I did not stick with it because:
• It overrode the brightness settings on my screen, so it was actually much brighter than I would normally have it.
• Whenever I needed to work on anything with colours (most design tasks) I would have to turn it off to get hues correct.
The first one may have been sorted out by this point though.
