I wrote the original post here in August 2020.
It’s been ten years since I first used f.lux (from Windows to MacOS)—I first installed the app on my new laptop as a fifth-year engineering student in 2015. So, if you see me typing on my yellow-lit screen at this hour, you will understand why.
Blue light has a dark side. What is blue light? It is the light your electronic screens emit. And according to Harvard Health Publishing, blue light messes up your sleeping pattern. Why is this big news? Because a lot of people are now spending more time in front of their screens than ever before. And one of them might be you.
So if you’ve been struggling to get a good night sleep, but you also need to spend a lot of time in front of your computer for work, installing f.lux tool might help you with that.
What is f.lux? It is a freeware tool that changes your screen’s color depending on your location and time of the day. It smartly adjusts your screen’s display helping to reduce eyestrain too! You can download the tool for free here.
By the way, this is not a sponsored post.
However, I am eager to share this with you because I have been using f.lux since 2015. And it has changed my relationship with my laptop since. Whenever I have to work late, f.lux replaces my laptop screen’s unnatural glow with a warm display. It really helps my eyes become more relaxed even after a long day.
Try it out and see for yourself.
I hope it will do you good like it did for me. If it did, pass the knowledge on.
See you next time!
