A comment on F.lux v4. Parent comment

I have been using f.lux for years, and was happy that when NightShift became available that I could just use it.

The short of it is that, for me at least, NightShift is almost useless. It simply does not get red or dim enough if I'm reading right before bed. Same thing goes for Android, which is why I have Twilight still installed there. Seems like such an easy option to make the color temperature more customizable, so I think it sucks that Apple didn't do this.

I've had better experience with CF.lumen on Android (you need root though) because it's more of a tint than an overlay, so blacks stay black and not dark red like with Twilight.

That's why I've always disliked Twilight! I couldn't put my finger on it, I thought it was just the color choice.

Thanks for the recommendation!
