About:
Nocturne is a macOS utility that dynamically adjusts your display's color temperature and brightness based on ambient light or time of day. It helps reduce eye strain in low-light conditions by applying a customizable red-shift filter, similar to Night Shift but with more granular control. Its main value is providing a system-level, automated solution for more comfortable nighttime computing.

Key Features:

Dynamic color temperature adjustment
Customizable red-shift filter for low light
Automated scheduling based on time or ambient light
System-level integration for macOS
Granular control over display brightness and tint

Use Cases:

Reducing eye strain during late-night work sessions
Creating a more comfortable viewing experience in dark environments
Automating display adjustments to match circadian rhythms

Alternatives:

f.lux – More feature-rich and cross-platform, while Nocturne is a simpler, macOS-native alternative.
Night Shift (built-in) – Nocturne offers more granular control and a stronger red-shift filter compared to macOS's native feature.
