It's been two days now, never happened before. The overall color 'temperature' of my display, hence whatever I'm seeing (desktop, application, etc.) slightly changes, from a warmer tone (the normal one I've always seen) to a 'cooler' more blueish tone (that I'd never seen before). I've observed this doesn't happen spontaneously, at least not until now, but it happens when I open or close applications (whichever), or in Safari when I navigate and go back or forward between pages, or open a new page or a new tab, or in the same page/tab when I open a new website, and so on.. It's random, it doesn't always happen, but it does happen, a few times a day, maybe more. It can happen 5-6 times per hour, I've noticed. I'm starting to get worried..what could this be? The MBP I'm on is listed at the end of the post.

F.lux fixes this: it makes the color of your computer's display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day. It's even possible that you're staying up too late because of your computer. You could use f.lux because it makes you sleep better, or you could just use it just because it makes your computer look better.

Night Shift uses your computer's clock and geolocation to determine when it's sunset in your location. It then automatically shifts the colors in your display to the warmer end of the spectrum. In the morning it returns the display to its regular settings.

How to set up Night Shift

Make sure that your Mac meets the system requirements for Night Shift, then follow these steps:

  1. Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, then click Displays.
  2. Click the Night Shift tab.

Schedule: Create a custom Night Shift schedule or have Night Shift turn on automatically from sunset to sunrise.

Manual: Control Night Shift manually.

  • If Night Shift is off, select the checkbox to turn Night Shift on until 7 a.m. If you're using a schedule, Night Shift automatically turns off at the scheduled time.
  • If Night Shift is on, deselect the checkbox to turn Night Shift off. If you're using a schedule, Night Shift turns on again at the scheduled time.

Color Temperature: Drag the slider to make the color temperature more or less warm when Night Shift is on. Warmer color temperatures show more yellow and less blue.


You can control the Manual setting from Notification Center as well. Click the Notification Center icon in the menu bar, or swipe left with two fingers from the right side of your trackpad. Then scroll up to reveal the Night Shift setting.
