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

#12As 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!
Me too. I am very sensitive to what's going on my screen. Even though it takes hours to transition, you can tell. And I love it. Flux is brilliant. It's also generally easier to wind down your brain toward the end of the day. It's not easy to sleep soon after staring at high temperatures.

#14I tried it for a long time and just found it distracting. I don't work with images these days but perhaps my background in graphics makes me picky. I'm familiar with some of the research but I'd be interested to know if the approach taken by f.lux actually works - real world light wavelengths and colors faked by mixing red, green and blue are subtly different things.

#16This thing gets a lot of love by a bunch of folks here, so I gave it a good half year of trying. But it's just too annoying.
Around 5pm, your display turns pinkish orange and it becomes a lot harder to see anything. Code gets harder to read, colors display wrong, video just fades to black. None of the advertised happiness ensues.
The second half-year it remained installed, my only interaction with it was to notice it screw up my display, then right-click the tray icon and disable it.
Needless to say, I didn't install it on the new box I bought this year. I don't understand why people like it.

#17User for 3 Years here. Some Tips for new users to help smooth the transition.
-Install during the day.
-Use the Slow Transition Method
-Don't go all the way down to 3400k for night time if you think it'll bug you. I personally love it.

Did you play around with the lighting setting? I have it set for halogen and set the transition to slow (1 hour) and I don't even notice it.

I've only just installed it, and found that I need to disable it if I'm doing any serious work. However if I have some free time at night to go over pinned tabs or read some articles I leave it on and find I do get sleepier much faster, to the detriment of my open-tab count.

#20F.lux is the reason I jailbroke my iPhone. It really is an awesome program. You can feel your eyes adjust if you disable and re-enable it. It definitely helps on the phone because it is usually the last screen I look at before bed...
