Well, given that the Flux team has refused for years to allow us to configure the times and for how long it activates itself, I welcome Apple bringing this to the mac.

I can't understand why this is. Surely it was harder to implement the sunrise sync than a simple time dropdown?

This is the one reason I want to get away from Flux.

Does anyone know what their supposed motivation was for not letting us set the start and end time?

I read the other day a bullshity response in their forums like that their objective was to understand human behaviour not just set timers or something like that.

Edit:

- "Our goal is to further the understanding of human biology, not just turn things orange on a timer. It's a longer term undertaking and a much more difficult one."

Lol. That's indescribably smug.

I always set my location some way to the south west to make f.lux dim later. Sweden in winter may get dark at 3 pm, but that doesn't mean I am going to bed.
