And both of them work better than flux and have more customization options. There's literally no reason for flux to exist anymore.

Edit: also android and ios

I can't speak for the Windows implementation, but this is far from true on the Mac OS 'Nightshift' implementation. Nightshift won't get nearly as warm as I prefer it, misses the Hue integration, misses having multiple levels for particular times of the day, general quick disable, disable by application, disable when in full-screen application... The list goes on. There are plenty of reasons to still be using Flux on Mac.

Configurable in System Preferences -> Displays.

> general quick disable

There’s a toggle in the Notification Center, at the top (may have to scroll/pull down.)

The whole problem is that it isn't configurable to get as warm as many people (myself included) prefer.

Nope nope nope. The built-in options still emit too much blue for my taste.

Tried to switch from Flux to Windows 10 nightlight, was awful. If you wake your computer from sleep after sunset, nightlight doesn’t activate automatically. Been a known issue since they released it.

Fixed in creator's update.

The only options in the Windows implementation are "colour temperature at night", "on time" and "off time". So that's objectively much less customizable than flux.

Android might have it, but Android users certainly don't. Nougat and Oreo combined are still under 20%.

Doesn't matter. OEMs have included it in MM too.

Don't know about other OEMs but Xiaomi's implementation is awful.

Oh. Mine doesn't, so I hadn't realize that.
