Flux is fantastic. I just wish it were built into iOS too, so I can have something similar on my iPad/iPhone without jailbreaking.

Is it possible for an iOS app to run indefinitely in the background? Just wondering.

  No, and even if it were that wouldn't make f.lux for iOS possible. Even an app running temporarily in the background can't do this on iOS.

    >can't do this on iOS. It can, and has been done, it's just Apple won't allow apps that do this in the store, hence the need for jailbreaking

An official Flux build exists for iOS, but you need to jailbreak. I used it before I upgraded to iOS 7 and it has been massively useful for me. It's the one thing I miss most from my jailbreak.

  Flux is fantastic on my iPad - great for reading in the evening.

I would imagine it would have to be baked into the OS (if not jailbroken) as I presume you'd want it to affect the display and all applications. But I completely agree, I love f.lux on my computer. The only downside is I feel the need to sleep very quickly if I try and work at night :)

Flux is my primary example of why Apple's censorship is intolerable.

If you're an ios developer, file a dupe of rdar://15160891 If you're not an ios developer, visit http://www.apple.com/feedback/ http://www.apple.com/feedback/ If Apple never hears from people who want this (and they don't) nothing will get done.

  Every time I go to update to legit IO7 I think, oh yea, but F.lux. Apple seems inspired enough to bake the good jailbreaks in, except for this one essential (for me) tweak. The Iphone was a revolutionary product and a great tool, but I'm pretty sure it's also responsible for millions of hours of lost sleep due to late night blue light. C'mon Apple start forward thinking again and let us have this as an accessibility option at least. I send feedback every single time IOS gets an update, hope others will too.
