Apple finally opened up the display settings to allow blue light reduction features for all users. You pushed for this change and today it is officially part of the operating system. Keep your eyes on future updates to ensure these accessibility tools stay accessible to everyone.

What is f.lux?: f.lux is a program for Mac, PC, and jailbroken iPhone and iPad users, that warms the color of the devices backlight to reduce or eliminate the amount the bluelight the LEDs give off. Bluelight has been shown to keep you up at night, cause cancers, and reduce health. f.lux fixes that.

F.lux was released for Mac 6 years ago in 2009, and for jailbroken users since 2011. And is still not available for non-jailbroken IOS devices. On November, 12, 2015, f.lux was briefly available to the public via sideloading in Xcode, but the next day it was removed by Apple because it violated the Xcode guidelines.

I suffer from dry eye and this helps a great deal with night use esp after reading on my phone. I would happily pay for this thru the App Store since it is indispensable to my condition and nothing else helps i.e. dimming brightness or night shift.

I depend on lowering blue light in order to sleep properly. Blue light after hours also triggers my Asperger's symptoms. I would like to be able to use my iPad at night without these issues and without jailbreaking my iPad, I like to follow the rules.

Please allow this. As a physician, I constantly use my phone in the evening and it is bad enough that my sleep is interrupted and deprived; this will at least help me get back to sleep quicker for a more restful night and better care for my patients

I would LOVE to have the option for installing f.lux on my iPhone and iPad simply because it allows me to still be a little productive on the days that light sensitivity secondary to my migraines prevent me from looking at a screen with typical lighting.

Having f.lux on my daughter's phone would reduce the impact her evening phone usage has on her sleep. I really don't want to jailbreak her phone, but I really want her to have f.lux. Why doesn't Apple allow this? Please allow f.lux on iPhones!

I use f.lux on both of my Macs but the benefits I get from using it there are negated by the fact that I still look at my iOS devices at some point before I go to bed. I would really love to install it on those devices to be able to help my sleep cycle.
