This looks interesting, I too have problems even in the darkest of dark night shift. To be perfectly honest, I was ready to `brew install nocturnal` and test it out, but I'm not going to figure out what Carthage is and get that bootstrapped just to try this. I realize that's pure laziness on my part, but people are lazy when they can be. Might be an easy-ish hurdle to get more adopters


Nice looking readme, I like how you made the example image. With white background and fading the bar itself out on the edges!

For the app itself, not sure I’d use it as I feel night shift works well already.


Thanks! I really like to go all out when I create a readme haha The main reason I made the app was for the darker than dark dimness functionality as my eyes struggle in a dark room even at lowest brightness! As for the night shift slider it is mainly a bonus feature I added in which I thought could be useful for anyone that may find night shift a bit too strong at times (e.g. during the day). Ultimately, most people probably wouldn't need it but for people with sensitive eyes like myself I think its useful :)
