G.lux

G.lux is an unofficial variation of F.lux. G.lux is an app that automatically changes the colour temperature of your browser as the sun goes down. Monitors are typically daylight balanced, which can interfere with your sleep cycle when using them after sunset. The human brain wants to be ‘awake’ when it sees daylight, so the idea here is that we can change the screen colour temperature at night to a “tungsten” or orange-balanced colour. This is an alternative for users who are unable to install, or do not want to install F.lux, such as: -Chrome OS users. -Users who do not have administrative rights on the computer (perhaps a workplace or a school). -Only want to change the colour temperature on your browser.
