Apple is recently paying a great attention to the health of its users. Not so long ago, the Night Shift function appeared in Mac OS and iOS. This function allows reducing the load on the user’s eyesight thanks to more “warm” colors. The Night Shift function changes the color spectrum of the screen. It can be activated manually or you may just configure your PC or your smartphone to turn on the Night Shift at a certain time.
Important note: if you are editing photos or videos on your computer or your phone, you should not do this with the Night Shift activated, because it greatly distorts real colors.

Night Shift For Mac Os High Sierra
Depending on how you want to use the option, enable this mode in manual mode or schedule it to be turned on at a certain time. Just like in the Night Shift settings on a Mac, you can set the color temperature here too.
Night Shift is quite a useful option, especially if you use your phone or tablet when the lights are off. Even with minimal brightness, “cold” colors strongly affect one’s vision, requiring eyes to be more concentrated, which can later lead to various sleeping disorders. Warmer colors are doing far less harm in this case.
