Warmer nights.
Sharper mornings.

Transitioning to Night
Illustrative preview of the menu bar popover
Everything f.lux does. Nothing it doesn't.
A small, native utility that does one thing well.
Sunrise & sunset, automatically
NightShift calculates sunrise and sunset for your location offline and eases your display's color temperature to match — no network required after setup.
Full manual control
Switch between Auto, Day, Night, or Off straight from the menu bar whenever you want to override the schedule.
Bedtime wind-down
An optional extra taper gradually warms your display in the hour before bedtime — the window that matters most for winding down.
Tune it your way
Set exact day and night color temperatures and how long the transition takes, with a live preview as you adjust.
Launch at login
Turn it on once and NightShift quietly starts with your Mac from then on.
Private by design
No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. Your settings live in UserDefaults on your Mac and nowhere else.
