  4. I agree. https://github.com/jonls/redshift has been a gamechanger to me. Hint for those with desktops: redshift may fail to detect your location so you can use -l lat:long to set it.

  11. …Redshift would have it as an option, sounds like "no" but a dev thinks it could be used to do it, https://github.com/jonls/redshift/issues/364 . Maybe other night-mode apps include such options?

  17. I use https://github.com/jonls/redshift on Linux instead of f.lux. Installing with "sudo apt install redshift-gtk" should get desktop integration (I don't run Mint, but it works great on stock Ubuntu).

  22. Somebody else has already done it. https://github.com/jonls/redshift has been by go-to for a few years now. It's my suspicion that Jon has no intention of patenting the idea.
    comment by Spivak · 2015-11-16 · in “f.lux has been ready to ship for iOS for four years, but we need Apple's help.”
  23. You can use [redshift]( https://github.com/jonls/redshift ) - it's like f.lux, except it respects your freedom.
