My life doesn't necessarily fit into a sunrise-sundown bracketed timeframe. I regularly need to postpone dimming until later in the evening, and then return to full color brightness before dawn. F.lux refuses to do this. Night Shift (at least on iOS) does.

Yeah, Flux is useless in places far from the equator. I don't want my screen to dim at sunset/6PM.

Why not? Its better for your eyes if you're working in dim rooms.

You can easily return to full color brightness before dawn with f.lux simple hit the Disable Until Sunrise button.

You should be able to plot in your regular schedule, and have that be the default. Having to hit a button every morning and/or evening is just poor usability.
