    What makes it so good is that it's so versatile. You can set it and forget it. Or if you decide to watch a movie, and you don't want the screen dimmed, you can temporarily turn it off. I've used other screen filters, but F.Lux is the best by far!

    RedshiftGUI changes the color temperature of your monitor to better match that of your surrounding. This means that it sets a cooler color temperature during the daytime (due to natural lighting) and sets a warmer temperature at night (due to indoor lighting). Similar to f.
