About:
Shifty is a menu bar utility for macOS that provides granular control over the Night Shift feature. It allows users to bypass system restrictions to schedule color temperature changes at any time and intensity. The tool is ideal for users who want to reduce eye strain or improve sleep hygiene without being limited by Apple's default settings.
Key Features:
  • Customizable Night Shift scheduling beyond system defaults
  • Manual temperature adjustment via menu bar slider
  • Ability to disable Night Shift for specific apps or monitors
  • Lightweight and unobtrusive interface
Use Cases:
  • Scheduling warmer screen colors during evening hours for better sleep
  • Temporarily disabling Night Shift for color-sensitive work like photo editing
  • Overriding automatic sunset/sunrise schedules with precise control
Alternatives:
  • NightOwl – Similar functionality but with a more feature-rich UI and automation options
  • f.lux – Broader screen temperature control but not specifically focused on Night Shift integration
