Electronic gadgets are, of course, cool, but not very useful for vision. Especially if you have a habit of staying up late into the night. So don't miss this opportunity to get acquainted with the f.lux utility for Android. It will help reduce the harmful effects of smartphones and tablets on your eyes.
f.lux is one of the most popular night-time eye strain relief programs. It appeared almost seven years ago and has received many favorable user reviews during its existence. The main difference with f.lux is that it works at the system level, and does not just impose a red filter on top, as numerous competitors do. However, all this time f.lux was only available on desktops (Windows, Linux and OS X), and only recently was it released for Android devices.
The main function of the program is to change the color temperature depending on the time of day, so the first thing f.lux will ask for permission to determine your coordinates. This will allow the application to know the time of sunset and sunrise in order to correctly adjust the brightness and color of the smartphone or tablet screen.
In addition, you can manually set your wake-up time in the settings, as well as choose your preferred day and evening mode from several suggested color profiles. The program also has the ability to turn on the dark room mode for working in absolute darkness: in this case, the screen backlight is minimized as much as possible regardless of the time of day.
F.lux for Android is currently in beta testing. The author promises stable operation of the utility on devices running Android Lollipop and Marshmallow, but on KitKat, the program's performance depends on the specific device. Since the utility operates at the system level, superuser rights are required to run it.
