f.lux for iOS is designed to give you a better experience with your computer. It regulates the colors of your display so it can match the time of the day properly. That can reduce your eye strain or your headache or even help you sleep at night.

Got it working. my eyes are so happy. xcode is a foreign world to me. So I was a bit confused when installing. For this step "Under Targets > iflux > General > Identity, add a word to the end of the Bundle Identifier to make it a unique name" This is what you need to do:

@pointum i'm thinking that it's for when they get it in the app store. Installing the "official" version won't clash with this side loaded one.

f.lux is a must-have app for Mac users. Awesome to see @herf build this for iOS, although it's unfortunately that it need to be side-loaded.

@rrhoover I'd love for it to be available normally. One thing I also find is at night the backlight, even at the minimum setting, it still too bright. Would be great if you could override this
Andrew Yates
@smithjw @rrhoover I found this also and then came across an accessibility option to dim the screen further. I then set it up against the home button 3 tap shortcut so I can toggle the dimming at night. This post explains it well: http://www.techrepublic.com/arti... :)

@amol @rrhoover anyone have this? I had the tab open and I didn't download !!
Jonathan Howard
@amol The problem with that is (a) so many steps (b) doesn't help with the gamma / blue light issue
Ryan Hoover
Unfortunately, that didn't last long. @herf just updated the site with the following: Apple has contacted us to say that the f.lux for iOS download (previously available on this page) is in violation of the Developer Program Agreement, so this method of install is no longer available. He continues to credit Product Hunt, LifeHacker, BGR , 9to5Mac , TechCrunch, and The Next Web for driving 176k visits in the past 24 hours. RIP, f.lux for iOS.

@rrhoover I hope the developer did not add any expiration mechanism. It should continue to work otherwise.

Is it just a matter of following the (now removed) instructions? If so, I'm sure the instructions were saved by others...
Taylor Crane
@taykcrane UPDATE: it looks like what's needed is the .ZIP file. Surely someone who downloaded it still has it, right??
Sergio Sala
@taykcrane I have the ZIP, but I can't download... it says No provisioning profiles found. Anyone know why?

This is so legit. You have to compile it to use it. So ridic. It's like such a basic, good idea and yet they have to resort to insane methods to distribute it. Love it.

It's working great for me so far. However, the notifs are super annoying. It let me know the sun was setting in 28, 22, 15 minutes and 1 minute ago. That's a bit much. Then I turned off lock screen notifs and it still turns on my screen and shows the "TouchID or Enter Passcode" screen. Hmm...

RIP f.lux for iOS. Here's a collection of all the dead products on PH 👻.
Kelly Kuhn-Wallace
Thrilled to see f.lux available to peeps who don't jailbreak. It's a must-have phone app, right up there with the dialer.
Hugo Alves
Infinite clapping. Thank you for this. I'm a bit sad that Apple hasn't bought f.lux and made it a system level feature.
Dan Moore
Very cool, or should I say warm. One thing I don't understand is the notifications. You can send notifications to update the app that are invisible to the user. Like updating the notification icon on an app to 0. That's done by sending a notification to the phone. Dunno how flux does it, just reading the FAQ until I can get to my developer account to install it
Joe d'Elia
Is it not possible for you to self sign the app and distribute it through your website the same way Popcorn time did some time ago?
Andrzej Bakonski
Loveeee f.lux on mac! So hold on, can I integrate this into my existing iOS app to allow dark/light etc modes?
ben Watanabe
@andrzejb200sx I and the team have been thinking about doing this for some time and making an open source project that could be loaded into any app. I don't think it would break any rules if it was on an app-by-app basis, will let you know if we do!
Jason Crawford
F.lux is invaluable for me on my Mac. I've been avoiding using my phone at night since I haven't had it there… happy to see this!
exex zian
have been using it in my windows machine from years and it works perfectly :) and is equally promising for iOS :)
Adam Owen
Awesome! Can't wait to get this installed. Just wish Apple would stop being so restrictive with these types of apps. Instead, they should be buying the company and integrating this natively.

So I've just uploaded this to GitHub for anyone who couldn't grab it before they took it down. Enjoy! https://github.com/smithjw/flux-iOS

Finally, I've been waiting for this for a long time! Going to try it out and see how it does. Hooray for sleep.
Kelly Kuhn-Wallace
Anyone want to compile this with an installer? Because Windows users. You know you do.
Quinn Zeda
Finally!!!! Been using F.lux on my mac for a year now and love it. My eyes are really sensitive to light. Just wish it wasn't such a pain to install. 😒

This should stop my baby from waking up when I'm trying to use my phone while rocking her to sleep at night.
