• Tools that keep me productive

  For those evenings where I'm in front of the computer, f.lux is a must. Like some wise person said, "Be kind to your eyeballs". macOS's Nightshift kind of works, but f.lux destroys it. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• Is it just me who dislikes the winter update with the change of colors?

  Reshade might help with the color tones. I normally use f.lux for Windows, but I don't know how much it might help. Could be worth trying, though. Source: about 1 year ago

• Create a shortcut for even lower phone brightness

  This is good advice, but I prefer something that automatically dims and reduces blue light for me. That qay I don't have ro remember. f.lux on Windows and Mac, and Twilight on Android, are what work for me. https://justgetflux.com/ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Blue-light glasses may not reduce eyestrain from screens, study says

  > 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.

• Computer screen and light sensitivity accommodations

  So sorry you are dealing with this. Not sure if it will help, but I use a program called f.lux (https://justgetflux.com/) for Windows that adjusts the lighting on your screen. It's intended to make the computer light mirror the daylight (filtering the blue light in the evening), but you could set it to filter out the blue light all the time I believe. I hope you find a solution. Source: over 1 year ago
