Get f.lux beta for Windows

Download Beta Link [https://justgetflux.com/flux-setup4.exe]

What's new:

• Bedtime mode: warmer light before bed gets you ready for sleep, and works with all kinds of schedules
• Disable by app (so you don't forget Photoshop)
• Backwards alarm clock: reminder not to stay up late
• Presets to help adjust your settings
• Color filters for eye strain and other uses
• A wider range of color settings
• New hotkeys to adjust color (alt+shift+PgUp and alt+shift+PgDn)

Changes:

• Reduced impact on game framerates
• Resolution independent interface, for high DPI displays
• DisplayLink monitors (connected by USB) work in a lot more cases now

Smart Lighting:

• Hue integration now supports more light types
• LAN API with support for telling other devices when f.lux changes

There are more things almost ready, but we have to get this right first.

Post-installation page: Thank you for installing f.lux

Can't wait for the stable release! I got this program about a week ago. It is the best thing I have ever installed on my computer.

It's always been my first-to-install app after (re-)installing Windows until the Creator Update. Helped my eyes a lot.

I thought the development has stopped. It's good that it has not.

Thanks Spawn, I remember discussing an article about this either here or on one of the other sites I visit, either in
Jan, or Feb.
After that I forgot all about it, I will look into this too very soon

I am using the native Windows thing on Creators Update, although I must say I am pretty impressed by the new features. It sounds like it blows the native Windows thingie out of the water.

So wait the creators update has a blue reduction feature? Sorry if this might be off topic..

Yup!

If you enable it, then by default it turns on at sunset, and off at sunrise. You can adjust the intensity of it.

I've been using it for 2 years now. I can't imagine using a computer without it now. I couldn't sleep for hours after I went to bed before but ever since I started using it, never had such a problem. This thing really works!

This new version is leaps forward than their current release. Apart from the improvements to the UI. It uses the location sensor of Windows 10, if enabled, it will set the sunset/rise automatically - can be changed. Toast notifications to tell you when you will be waking up, so you don't spend too long on the PC. Fine tune the filtering and other customisation options.

Try the beta or wait for the stable announcement.

I have it installed a few hours ago.

Yeah, I like the new features.

The Native version in the Creators update is more than enough for me although this program does look good.

 

[XhenEd]

Maybe the inclusion of similar tech to the Creators Update made f.lux team work for a new version. They don't want to lose the users. Maybe they are now saying, "Hey! You! Don't abandon us. See, ours is better than that."

I just gave this a run, it all looks a bit weird at the start but I will see if I can get used to it.

The yellow screen is definitely a surprise for new users, but try with Low-light conditions and toggle flux on and off. You'll see and feel a difference.

Even though Windows 10 by itself will contain BlueLight Filter, f.lux by itself is indeed a good tool for eye straining protection.

The default blend of color is capable already for strenuous task.

Yes you may feel uncomfortable from the first place but I assure that your eyes want that color blend the next time.

I started using it on a iPhone with Jailbreak and then a rooted android.
Have been using it on windows and installed the beta already.
A great program and once you use it you will not be disappointed!!!
If you don't want the beta you can download the stable version for Windows here f.lux

I'm using f.lux it since a few months.
On my android phone, I'm using Twilight.
At first, those software seems strange, but when I'm disabling twilight at night, now, it hurts me.
On F.Lux, I like the shortcuts ALT-PGUP / ALT-PGDWN ! super fast.
