Flux (or f.lux) is a software which changes the color of your screen according to the time in the location you are. That way, your screen doesn't look abruptly bright when it's night time.
I personally thought it's really interesting since I actually started to like that the colors aren't as bright as they are in the morning when it's night time. This way, it doesn't feel like someone is holding a flashlight right on my face when I get back on my computer at night time.
By clicking Change Settings, you can change your location so that f.lux adjusts itself to change the color when it's the right time. You can also change the intensity of the color for both day and night time in the way you like it to be. Once you get used to how you look at your screen with f.lux at night, try closing it and seeing the difference. Personally, I feel like I'm going blind when I turn f.lux off after using it for a few days now.

Graphic designers, don't be afraid of using this software thinking that your colors will be off when the f.lux filter is gone, since you can disable f.lux for one hour with a simple click, and get the colors back to normal for the time you are working on your project.
All in all, it's a pretty interesting and a fun software that everyone should give a try. It's available for Windows, Mac, Linux and iPhone/iPad at the moment. You can download f.lux here.
