As a side note I want to mention that I use Night Shift on mac os and every day!!! I need to switch it back on because there is no option to leave it enabled all day long.

I have it set to a custom schedule that starts at 4am and ends at 3:59am, effectively leaving it enabled all day long.

I have it set this way as well. But as I'm living a rolling day:), I often experience the light suddenly going on, so I have to reset it again.

What are you talking about? The whole point is you leave it on and it tracks the sun. Does this not work for you?

Yes, this works. but I want to have it enabled constantly because I like my screen that way.

Are you talking about Night Shift, to change the white balance of your screen to be more yellow, or Dark Mode, which can be turned on permanently without scheduling?

It sounds like you’re trying to schedule Dark Mode to stay on all the time, which can be accomplished by choosing “Dark” in System Settings-> Appearance in Ventura or later, or in System Preferences-> General in Monterey or earlier.

No, I'm talking about Night Shift.

Thanks for clarifying! You can modify your display so it looks that way all the time by changing the white point. Most designers use 6500K but you probably are looking for something near 3500-4000K. You can do this by calibrating your monitor to create a new custom display profile. Hope that helps!
