Does anyone have more info on the colour warmths available in nightshift? One nice feature of f.lux is that you can select colour warmths using a slider. Does nightshift allow a variety of night colours, or just one setting? Either way, this is great news. For years I had been jailbroken merely in order to have f.lux on my phone. I have mild insominia, and flux has greatly reduced that.

Another question: can the user enable "night" mode during the day, e.g. in a dark environment?

  That's a good question. It is worth noting that during the day you should NOT use night mode even in a dark environment, the whole point of the color shifting is to reproduce how the sun interacts with the world around you, turning on night mode during the day won't do your internal clock any favours. That being said, there might be good arguments for having manual night mode control, like if you're a night shift worker and want day mode at night, and night mode during the day. And a lot of international travel scenarios.

    > the whole point of the color shifting is to reproduce how the sun interacts with the world around you That's one use case. There are situations where blue light reduces the length of time one can look at a screen, and "night" mode enables longer usage.

      To elaborate: Bright blue light causes much faster bright-adaptation of the eye, interfering with rod vision. Or in other words, after a short zap of a smartphone display, you won’t be able to see very well in the dark.

I'll let someone else worry about whether or not they're violating NDA: http://www.macrumors.com/2016/01/11/apple-ios-9-3-night-shift/ http://www.macrumors.com/2016/01/11/apple-ios-9-3-night-shif.... If that site is to be believed, there is indeed a slider.

    No, I meant the one I posted. What I neglected was to add that the picture of the slider is in the comments. :-( Yours is the better link, though, as it has a pic right in the article.

      Fair enough, I didn't scroll down to the comments. :)
