Night Shift + Shifty is a much better choice than f.lux nowadays anyway. Source: over 1 year ago
It works better than f.lux for me, because it works at a lower level than Gamma table manipulation. I’ve been using Night Shift ever since it was released and I like its color rendering more than f.lux. But it’s subjective, some people like the extreme warmth of f.lux more. It depends on how you perceive colors and how well you can adjust to warmer colors. Shifty is also a very nice addition if you want more... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

> I can't put nightmode in Windows too close to 100 percent (i put it between 50-65) because then the contrast is just too bad. I hate windows night mode. As soon as you go above "slight" (can't remember the numbers, I'm not a frequent windows user and don't have one handy to check) it gets a sickly yellow taint. Last I checked (2-3 years ago) macos's wasn't great either, although somewhat serviceable. You may... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
There is evidence that suggests that blue light from screens before bed time can impact your ability to fall sleep. Here are several more resources about this phenomenon. To counter this, there are apps for computers and phones that will change the colors of your screen depending on the time of day. A commonly used free program that does this is f.lux.
