'''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 [[{{slink|Sleep#Circadian clock]]}} and [[{{slink|Phase response curve#Light]]}}).

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 &nbsp;K, and preferably matching the room's [[lighting]] temperature. Typical color temperature during the daytime is 5500–6500 &nbsp;K.
