This could be the 2016 version of f.lux


I hope they play nicely together.

I also hope there will be a Linux version, that plays nicely with Redshift, because that's my set-up.


Working fine on my Mac with f.lux running as well.

I haven't found redshift to play nicely with manual xrandr brightness adjustments. I've to shut down redshift to just lower the brightness below 1 at night, which sucks (because I lose redshift)


You can fiddle about in the config file of redshift a lot, and take control of gamma, colour ramps and backlight at different times of day. Maybe it's possible to make it play nice with your set-up too?

I just wish I could save some presets and quickly switch between them from the GUI, like how I used to use f.lux' ember and darkroom modes for late-night reading.


Yes, but not all modes of redshift work across all displays. I decided to take a look at the redshift configuration[0] just now, and it seems that the newer versions have some nice config options that might fit my usecase: `gamma-day`, `gamma-night`, `brightness`, `brightness-day|night`. I should be able to setup a lower brightness with this for my really late night work.
