Fluxgui is an open-source Python GUI indicator applet for Linux that controls screen color temperature via the xflux or Redshift backends, making the display warm at night and sunlight-like during the day. It is barely maintained and the underlying closed-source xflux daemon no longer works on most modern systems, so it now defaults to Redshift.
Use cases
- reduce blue light at night on linux
- make screen warmer in the evening
- schedule screen color temperature by time of day
- gui for redshift on ubuntu
- fix eye strain from bright screen at night
- help fall asleep by dimming display
When to choose
- you want a simple tray applet to control redshift on linux
- you prefer f.lux-style night lighting with a gui on older ubuntu systems
When to avoid
- you need a actively maintained solution - use redshift-gtk instead
- you rely on the original closed-source xflux daemon on modern systems
- you need wayland-native color temperature control
