What We Don't Like You must relaunch the app to reopen the control window. Mobile devices need to be jailbroken or rooted to use the app. Slightly affects color rendering. Your computer monitor or mobile device screen might automatically adjust the screen brightness according to how much light is in the room, but F.lux is a tool that greatly enhances this feature. It actually tracks sunlight according to the time of day, automatically changing the tint when the sun sets so that it looks more like indoor lighting. Why is this useful? The blue light emitted from screens tends to mess with your internal clock by tricking your body into thinking that it's daytime. F.lux tints your screens to a warm hue so that the light you're being exposed to at night doesn't affect your sleep cycle as much. Download F.lux Was this page helpful? Thanks for letting us know!
