It's worth jailbreaking for! Www.jailbreakme.com As of now, you can jailbreak iOS 6, but not an iPhone 5
You can jailbreak only a 3GS or iPhone 4. A much better resource is http://jailbrea.kr/ .
This 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…
Also, though, I have higher astigmatism and a high prescription and it might be why my eyes feel tired and notice a difference.
Either way this software is not a hallucination and makes a difference for me.

You can also change the color of the tint based on the type of lighting you have in your room (halogen, tungsten, fluorescent, etc) which makes a difference.
Still, it just might not be for you :)

I'm not sure it's a genetic difference. I used to be in camp 1, despite trying Flux many times, but now I'm firmly in camp 2. The change for me was due to a change in working environment, and I imagine that's the difference for a lot of people: if you're in a brightly lit room anyway, then the colours becoming weird is just going to be irritating. If you're in a room with a lot of natural lighting, or trying to work…
f.lux does look wrong in a blue-rich lighting environment (like an office building after dark.) It looks ok in most people's homes.
Granted, I use and like warm lighting at home. I wonder what would be the effect in a house/room that uses daylight lighting.
What's the business model on this? Are they selling data on users? Is there a premium version?
We are not selling data, and we won't. There may be a premium version in the future. Some exciting improvements coming, but you don't have to worry about privacy or spam.
1. With only one exception I can think of, every instance of insomnia I've had in the last several years I can trace to not having f.lux enabled for some reason.
2. The reason that happens is that I often won't notice if f.lux dies for some reason, because I am so thoroughly used to it now.
I was having real sleep trouble several years ago, and f.lux is part of a battery of things I did (along with cutting caffeine completely after 12:00PM every day, getting some aerobic exercise, not coding after ~9:00PM, and taking over getting the kids out the door in the morning to force myself to get up) which more or less eliminated those problems.
