Redshift is an application that adjusts the computer display's color temperature based upon the position of the sun and the user's location on Earth. The program is free software, inspired by the proprietary f.lux.

The computer display's color temperature transitions evenly from night to daytime temperature to allow the user's eyes to slowly adapt. At night, the color temperature is low and is typically 3000K-4000K (default is 3,700 K), preferably matching the room's lighting temperature. Typical color temperature during the daytime is 5,500–6,500 K (default is 5,500 K).
