      Do you have a dual-GPU Macbook Pro?

      We are trying to reset the system profile at exit, and it takes a few seconds to do it. So I guess the updater isn't handling a "slow exit" very well. It will probably be faster during the day.

      El Cap has a new feature called Automatic Brightness that's not playing nicely with f.lux yet - under Settings > Displays you need to uncheck it for now, and if that doesn't fix you try a reboot.

      It usually works well with two monitors - what's your system like? We can help you debug the flickering, just make sure you're using the latest build at www.justgetflux.com

      In "Preferences" - is there any chance the daytime slider is moved to the left? (It is usually all the way to the right.)

      If you use "recommended colors" in the menu (top-right) does it fix things?

      36.5 has a partial fix for this, but some machines also require that you turn off "Automatically adjust brightness" in Display settings.

      I put some more notes in this other thread...

      tl;dr: it seems like Apple managed to make everything work on a couple models, and on some others the auto-brightness stuff is conflicting with f.lux.

      On our machines, disabling auto-brightness (possibly including a reboot) always fixes things.

      I'm having the same issue too. Uninstall the app with app clearer and install it again (36.4 version) doesn't help. The issue arise when the sun is sining, so the automatic brightness ups the brightness.

      Huh! Good to know - I guess that's a tick in the "pro" column for upgrading to 10.11, which I'll do once I can make sure it won't cause other problems elsewhere...

      cheers,

      We have noticed that the NVIDIA card handles color profiles wrong on 10.10.5.
      This appears to be fixed on 10.11.

      I think some times that we've designed our presets for the night owl, and not everyone is a night owl, so we are working on it.

      But the challenge is -- we'd like to make using the software more automatic, not less!

      The "bedtime" mode is designed to allow your body to produce melatonin on its natural rhythm -- this happens >10 hours before you wake up, for most people (and maybe even earlier in the winter).

      The melatonin rhythm is totally separate from a "cue" to go to bed, which is a separate and important thing (it's sort of why we did the backwards alarm clock). And as you say some people only spend 7 hours in bed and are quite happy about it. As it is, those notifications are sort of a prototype, and if people want us to we can make those cues a lot more customizable, and there could be a screen change too. Because I do agree that cue is pretty important.

      I prototyped the notifications with a recurring calendar that was super-annoying (but I liked it better), and it would pop up and say "Get ready for bed now!" because I could do that when it was my schedule, but we had to make it more "objective" for this feature, so we weren't being totally rude for people who had to stay up late for some reason.

      We have some ideas about how to let people say, "This is too early" or "This is too late" and have the software adapt. I think if we exposed an extra 5 parameters most people would find it too complicated. But we will probably have some more advanced parameters in a future version.

      Sounds like you need to get a different monitor!! A resource to check monitors if they have PWM is TFTcentral

      I really like BenQ monitors, so here are some models that don't use PWM, and I'll add a tiny bit of detail about them

      Gaming, with features that are basically like cheating:
      http://www.benq.us/product/monitor/rl2755hm/features/

      Similar to the other one, but higher resolution:
      http://www.benq.us/product/monitor/GW2765HT/

      And, the one I use, http://www.benq.us/product/monitor/GW2760HS/
      This one has a much lower response rate, but contrast is a lot higher, and colors can be displayed much more accurately. Yeah, I don't work for BenQ but I wanted to make clear that several of their monitors use "Zero Flicker" technology, which I wish EVERY computer / monitor manufacturer would do.
