Why No Night Shift for Macs?

[Tomi Lippai]

I was expecting this on macOS .... very disappointed

And I was expecting an attractive and intelligent lady in my bed tonight, instead of my iPhone. (sigh) I'm very disappointed too.

Why do you need an intelligent lady in your bed ?

Is there an app that lets you schedule night shift mode like Apple's does? Flux doesn't see to have that option It asks me when I wake up, but not when I go to sleep ( or when want it to go into night mode )

Flux is completely automatic - it detects location (or you enter it manually) and then it engages and disengages at proper times. You can even set the length of the transition between fluxed and non-fluxed display.

Agree - Flux works wonders and changes your screen automatically

Ennui, from their Department of Indifference - especially when their most recent hardware and OS make it fairly clear that they're trying to get out of the computer biz, in favour of iOS and its devices.

Or Apple's traditional view that it knows what users really want, and its never what users say they need.

Take your pick.

Indeed you can active dark mode, on your mac

system preferences > General > check "use dark mode for menu bar and dock" it will help you out in some way.

The complete guide on all devices: you can check out, this. [redacted]

I don't know, but I will be sure to kill it off if they bring it out.
Can't stand a yellow screen.
When I was growing up I was told to avoid yellow snow!

I always wondered this as well, but i ain' tcomplaing.... 12 hours on MBA is more than plenty... Even 10 hours is enough.

I would much prefer a 'dark mode' over 'night shift'.

There is some tweaking you can do in Accessibility > Display (Invert Colors or Greyscale) to achieve something like dark mode (less strain on the eyes and there should be power-saving with that), while night shift's yellows or blues (depending on app provider) is just plain irritating for me.

They didn't introduce it to the mobile OS until IOS9.x so perhaps it will come in time. Having a yellow phone screen annoys me though so I'm not sure how I'd feel about a 15" MBP all yellow'ed out.

Perhaps that's "why" they don't do it... because you could do allot ore on Mac to achieve the same result. However, a simple button to turn all this at once would still be good.
