Flux needs to decouple it’s dimming timings from your local day/night cycle. I don’t care if it’s light or dark out, if it’s between x and y time I want the screen dimmed; otherwise, I don’t want it dimmed.

For a non-day-aligned f.lux to actually help you, you'd need to have blue-light filters on your windows, such that you aren't getting natural blue light during the day. Screens have only maybe 1/1000 the lux of daylight. Letting in even a little bit of daylight (e.g. through blinds) would completely swamp any effect from blue light on an LCD/LED panel.

What about the inverse? It's dark outside, but it's 7pm and I'm not about to sleep.

Yes or good old fashioned curtains or window blinds.
