Anybody know if f.lux is working on an Android version? Their FAQ is mute on the issue.

Twilight on Android works well.

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.

There is something like f.lux for Android. It's called Twilight.

Do you have it set so that it changes colors gradually? It's much easier to get used to if you have it change over the course of an hour instead of instantly.

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!

I switched from twilight to cf.lumen the other day, it's vastly better as it properly colors your screen.

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.
