Redshift is a C application that adjusts your screen's color temperature based on time of day to reduce eye strain at night. It works via gamma ramps and includes an optional GTK tray icon (redshift-gtk).
Use cases
- reduce eye strain when working at night
- make screen warmer in the evening
- night mode for linux desktop
- schedule screen color temperature changes
- alternative to f.lux on linux
- automatically dim screen color at sunset
When to choose
- your desktop environment lacks a built-in night light feature
- you need more scheduling or color temperature flexibility than built-in tools offer
- you use a window manager or older desktop without integrated night mode
When to avoid
- you use GNOME, KDE, Windows 10+, or macOS which have integrated Night Light/Night Shift features
- you need color transformation beyond what gamma ramps can achieve
