'''Redshift''' is an application that adjusts the [[computer display]]'s [[color temperature]] based upon the time of day. The program is [[free software]], and is intended to reduce eye strain as well as [[insomnia]].<ref name="github">[https://github.com/jonls/redshift/releases/tag/v1.9 Github release 1.9]</ref> (see [[Sleep#Circadian clock]]).

Redshift transitions the computer display's color temperature evenly between [[daylight|daytime]] and [[night]] temperatures to allow the user's eyes to slowly adapt. At night, the color temperature is low and is typically 3000–4000 K, preferably matching the room's [[lighting]] temperature. Typical color temperature during the daytime is 5500–6500 K.
