Mac models that do support Night Shift include the following computers: MacBook (Early 2015 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2012 or newer), MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 or newer), Mac mini (Late 2012 or newer), iMac (Late 2012 or newer), and Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer) Basically, the display colors will be warmer when it is enabled. Thus to demonstrate the effect you either have to test it out yourself on your Mac screen, or create a mockup as we did below. It’s important to point out that while display colors shift warmer when Night Shift is on, those warmer colors do not transfer over to images, pictures, screenshots, or anything else created on the display. What does Night Shift do? What does Night Shift look like when enabled? My personal preference is to have the warmest possible setting for maximum theoretical benefit to the eyes. * Generally speaking, the warmer the display temperature is set with Night Shift the better the effect is supposed to be by reducing blue light emission, and yes there is some science behind this. The display will also reduce the warmth automatically in the morning either at sunrise or at the time chosen. Now in the evening hours, either when the sun goes down or at the custom time you set, the color temperature of the display will change to become warmer automatically. Close out of System Preferences when finished adjusting Night Shift.Next adjust the “Color Temperature” to suit your preferences, as you slide the dial you will notice a the screen warmth will change to preview the setting *.Pull down the “Schedule” tab and select either “Sunset to Sunrise” or “Custom” (I prefer Custom).Select “Displays” and choose the “Night Shift” tab.Go to the Apple menu and choose “System Preferences”.iOS users also will find Night Shift available on iPhone and iPad. However, if you have an earlier version of Mac OS or Mac OS X you can install Flux and get the same general effect. We’ll show you how to setup and use this great feature on your Mac.īefore beginning, note that Night Shift in Mac OS requires macOS Sierra 10.12.4 or newer. It's been the best video calling service I've used to date and works well for a remote working.Night Shift is a great feature that is recommended for all Mac users to enable if you use your computer at night, the warmer hues can help to reduce eye strain and might offer other benefits as well, including improvements to sleep quality. Zoom is something I use multiple times a day for video and audio communication.I use Gmail on the web as my primary email but I also use Spark for another email account.This allows me to move to a new machine and be up and running incredibly quickly. Take a look at my Brewfile in my dotfiles for more info. All of the above are installed using Homebrew and Homebrew Cask.My browser of choice is Chrome, mainly because I use Google's tools (Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and so on) on a daily basis.I like being able to type my messages quickly using OSX apps rather than the phone apps if I can. Telegram is primarily used to allow me to build interesting automations with its bot API. I switch between various messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or Telegram depending on who I'm chatting to.I've just switched to Rectangle which seems to be an open-source fork of the project.
I used Spectacle for years in OSX but it's no longer supported. I like to avoid using a mouse / trackpad if I can so I like to use a window manager to move them around using keyboard shortcuts.Again, this has been replaced by OSX Night Shift but I've just stuck with Flux. I often code late into the night, when I know I shouldn't, and I've used Flux for years now to protect my eyes from the brightness of a glaring monitor.Due to my excessive emoji use, I also use Rocket to enable Slack colon emojis in other apps too.I lead a very remote-friendly team at the BBC so it's a must for communication. I use Slack on most week days for work.I take a lot of notes, especially for work, and I use a combination of Dynalist and Evernote.I've never moved off it when Spotlight improved. I started using Alfred as it used to have better searching than Spotlight.
