Long time user here & love the app & its soothing effect. Though I couldn't really find information on the wave length and frequency of the light emitting from the screens and the the difference created. ie, AFIK light of around 390 nm wave length seems to activate the serotonin switch (of the serotonin - melatonin pathway) & thus reduces prevents melatonin production (Eyes > Ganglion cells > optical nerves SCN > Pineal Gland). Do f.lux and similar products merely increase light in the high wave length parts (low frequency) so that for the visible eye its soothing ? Any pointers to analysis with say lightmeters/frequencies / comparison of frequencies etc ? Just curious.

A great tool. Really helps, and definitely recommend.
It's so good that I forgot I was using it. I have never turned it off since. :) Try it!
Cons:
Maybe when doing design work, it could interfere with the perception of colour, but I have tried it while photoshoping, and it's no problem.

This product is a must have. Tim Ferriss first turned me onto it. I will say that if you are using it and gaming or anything visually demanding... Remember to turn it off to check designs. If you are gaming or watching a movie. It will cause your screen and graphics card to stutter as nightfall hits.
@thewillrobins You can fix this by setting longer transition time.
If you like f.lux maybe you will also like my software called Iris

It's really nice alternative. I included free activation codes in the comments :)

First started using it two or three years ago through an article in https://www.lifehack.bg/.
