I started using F.lux a month or so ago to help with insomnia. It's helped a lot, thank you for writing it.

I've been holding out on buying an iPad to read in bed, precisely because F.lux has helped me so much on OSX. Is there a flux equivalent for iOS? Is it possible to write one?

Would be possible for an application to mimic Flux, but there is no way (except on a Jailbroken device) to do system wide Flux. Could be a nice niche for a browser or RSS reader though.

Is there a version for Jailbroken devices?

I have a bunch of hacks, but nothing that actually works right on iOS yet.

Thanks! To be fair, Michael Herf ('herf' here on HN) did most of the work, I just made a pretty GUI :)

Man, I would love a F.lux for the iPad! Shame that's not possible unless Apple built it into the OS themselves.
