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.

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.

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...

This was great news to start the day. I was considering jailbreaking just for this.
Mike Coutermarsh
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.
Mike Coutermarsh
YES. finally. im attempting to install right now
Taylor Crane
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?
Cole Mercer
Love flux! Anyone know how / if this affects battery life?
Enrico Icardi
@colemercer i've been using it for about 1-2-3 years (don't even remember how long), and i can say that my battery's not complaining at all

Anyone want to compile this with an installer? Because Windows users. You know you do.

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.
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!

RIP f.lux for iOS. Here's a collection of all the dead products on PH 👻.

Does this work without jailbreak now? Thinking of side loading this during lunch today
Justin Mitchell
Just installed this. It's amazing. Exactly what I needed and expected. F.lux is the first app I tell anyone to download on their new Macbook and this is no exception. If anyone can't install this and needs it, I don't mind adding you to the build on HockeyApp.
Juan J. Ramirez
Have been waiting for this for a long time!! The only reason why I would jailbreak my device.

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.
Dylan Smith
Been using this product for years. It is great! They have it for windows too, so don't think its just for iOS
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.
Neel Lukka
Amazing, been using F.lux on my Mac for the past 6 months and was waiting for this. Hope apple realizes the value of this and allows into the App Store, however it's more likely that they build native into iOS at some point...
Nicolas Nemni
Thanks @herf for making it! Edit: The whole "compile it yourself" sucks... 👎
Ryan Hoover
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.
James Smith
@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
