@ThePxlCollective ThePxlCollective released this 08 Jul 22:42

Cindershift for Windows. A background app that shifts your screen's warmth and brightness through the day and drops it into true red light at night, to cut blue light and the headaches that come with it. Native, tiny (about 4 MB of RAM, near-zero CPU), no runtime.

Install

Download cindershift.exe below, then run it once from a terminal:

cindershift install

That sets it up and turns on launch at login. It lives in the tray from there.

Keys

  • Ctrl+Alt+R cycles red modes (off, monochrome, pure, amber)
  • Ctrl+Alt+Up / Ctrl+Alt+Down brighten or dim the screen
  • Ctrl+Alt+Q quits and restores your screen

Right-click the tray icon for Settings.

Windows only for now. macOS and Linux are in progress.

Note: this build is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn about an unknown publisher. Choose More info then Run anyway.
