F.lux - Rest your eyes

Too much time spent at the computer can have some consequences. One of these is damage to your eyesight. Sitting too close in front of the monitor can significantly affect your vision. Also, the strong brightness of the screen in a darkened room can affect the pain.

Why?

Monitors emit artificial blue that bothers our eyes in special situations - during the night. When the monitor is the only light source in a dark room, it can have a very negative effect on your eyesight.

And since we are not dealing with medicine here, I will present you with a program that can reduce this problem. Its name is F.lux - A simple name for a simple program.

f.lux will help you fall asleep easier, your eyes will not burn, your eyesight will be blurred, you will not have redness on your whites, and most importantly, you will not start wearing glasses too soon.

How does he work

- Adjusts the brightness of the screen according to the position of the Sun. If the sun has set, your screen will be darker. The more the sun sets, the darker and darker the screen will become, up to a certain brightness, ie. heat.

You can adjust it to reduce the artificial blue color, you can also adjust it to completely eliminate the artificial blue color of the monitor during the night. You can even set your monitor to look like a photo development room (red light).

- When you start the program, you will be greeted by a simple menu where you can set your location. You must enter the coordinates of your city, which you can find by clicking on the "locate" button next to the text field. A web page will open where you enter the name of your city, and the coordinates will appear below. After adjusting the location, you can adjust the maximum and minimum brightness. And then click "Preview" to see what it looks like in the snapshot.
