@DCRnash We did this on old dual-GPU macs from the 2012-2015 era. We found they would switch from discrete to integrated GPU and load the system colors, but not the f.lux ones.

On newer Apple Silicon macs, there is no switch (since there is just one GPU) and so we don't have to build a profile to keep things working. It's better in most cases for f.lux to be a "temporary" effect. But in case you somehow wanted the old behavior, it might still work with a pref - check out: https://justgetflux.com/news/2014/10/28/profile.html

@Sreten you are right that not all of these appear on the Mac, we will make a note to add them in the future

@Moisey we currently don't test DisplayLink on macOS, but we might in the future.

@macuser usually those are announced here as a direct link. We did not roll out any of our Tahoe fixes as Apple fixed the bugs before Tahoe went live.

Are you having issues with a current release?

@fluxhelpme yes you can set the wake time one hour earlier for now.

@rich-vine1252 there is a toggle in the "f.lux > Color Effects" menu that makes f.lux do this switch automatically. It should be off by default, but it sounds like you want to make sure it is off on your Mac also.

@levitation is there a macOS option that does this too?

looks like beta 5 fixes this bug and things work with automatic brightness again.

Figured out the problem. One of my menubar programs (menumeters) was not working right and that caused all of the menubar icons to fail. hope this helps someone else having this problem.

@illegalnumbers yes this is a preview.

When you switch tabs, you are adjusting what the screen will look like in the future, not right now. If you want to adjust what the screen looks like right now, you don't have to change tabs, they will change automatically throughout the day and all you have to do is move the slider.

@herf Hi! I came here to add my +1 to this feature… Even though it wouldn't figure out sunset and sunrise times, I was quite happy with having added two cron jobs that pointed to two shell scripts that pointed to two Shortcuts (quite convoluted, I know) that toggled colour filters on macOS, as a bit of a workaround for this shortcoming in f.lux, only to find out about this limitation.

I would much prefer for this to be an option in f.lux as well, as a lot of people who use it and Night Shift seem to be turning to greyscale mode as well. On the iPhone and on the iPad, they mostly use Night Shift, as sideloading f.lux hasn't been an option for years, but on the Mac, having the option to use f.lux, I reckon it would be quite popular as well. As a matter of fact, with alternative app stores and sideloading on the EU, maybe f.lux could come back to iOS and iPadOS?

@generalKenobi thanks - the first one is 42.1 and the second is 42.2 - the untrusted certificate is quite unexpected but now appears to affect all builds from 2022 and before - must be some new security changes in macOS.

We've updated the website to point to 42.2, so builds going forward will have proper signatures.
