⚠️ TEMPORARILY PAUSED DOWNLOADS — please don't install 0.2.0.

A critical bug was found: autostarting the app on login crashes the graphical environment and drops you into a TTY command prompt. This was fixed in v0.3.0 — please use the latest release instead.

If you downloaded this version and are stuck at the TTY prompt:

  1. Log in with your username and password.
  2. Remove the autostart file: rm ~/.config/autostart/io.github.cosmic_nightshift.desktop
  3. Restart your system: sudo reboot

For now, please download v0.1.0 until this is patched. To uninstall this file, run this script — uninstall.sh. Thank you for your understanding.

Night Shift's UI moves out of a single window and into the COSMIC panel.

New

  • Panel applet — the on/off toggle and temperature slider now live in a status-bar applet popup, one click from the bar (or dock).
  • Separate settings window — autostart, schedule mode, sunset/sunrise hours, and the night temperature move to a dedicated --settings window.
  • Shared state — the applet, settings window, and --daemon all share state through cosmic_config, so a change in one shows up in the others.

Fixed / hardened

  • The daemon now applies the saved tint immediately on startup and follows the configured schedule, instead of waiting for the next transition.

Full changelog: v0.1.0...v0.2.0
