Is there an Open Source alternative to "F.Lux"?

F.Lux is not Open and it appears that they have plans for a paid version:

We need to investigate if there is an Open Source alternative.

Redshift is available on Windows as well, however it requires a bit of manual setup. Windows 10 features a built in Night Mode, which doesn't quite ramp the colors the same. Finally, an open source program made specifically for windows is LightBulb https://github.com/Tyrrrz/LightBulb/

LineageOS (for smartphones) has an open-source feature called LiveDisplay that allows to select screen temperature for night and day.

@sguillia thanks for sharing! haven't tried LineageOS yet ... https://lineageos.org looks good! 💡

I've edited my month old comment to clarify that LightBulb and Windows 10 Night Mode are different 😅
