These are basically some preset values that many people use. Aside from this you can customize Iris a lot. I know that it can be a little hard for non-technical people, but I&#8217;m doing my best to make it as easy to use as possible.<\/p>\n<p>By default Iris works automatically and detects if it&#8217;s day or night. Based on that it will change your screen Color Temperature and Brightness. When you open the control panel of the program you can select different <a href=\"https:\/\/iristech.co\/mode-dropdown-help\/\">modes<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/iristech.co\/type-dropdown-help\/\">types<\/a>\u00a0of Iris.<\/p>\n<p>If this is still so hard for you, try <a href=\"https:\/\/iristech.co\/iris-mini\/\">Iris mini<\/a> which is a smaller version of Iris with smaller size and lower CPU usage. Both Iris mini and Iris are free, but there are some Pro versions with more features, because I work\u00a0on <strong>Iris<\/strong> full time and want to make it a sustainable business for me. This is my passion and my dream.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the benefits of Iris over competitors are that Iris works even on docking stations and monitors connected with USB with the help of my custom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DUe_DeQXuww\">High level Color-API<\/a>. It has a much larger blue light reduction color range compared to all other alternatives, brightness without pulse-width modulation, manual settings, color effects, font rendering, magnification and partial screen blue light reduction with the help of full-screen overlays.<\/p>\n<p>If for some reason you don&#8217;t like Iris you can check f.lux, Twilight, Night Shift, Night Light and Redshift which are some nice alternatives for blue light reduction.<\/p>\n<p>For the brightness and different\u00a0color effects I don&#8217;t think there is another alternative, so you are stuck with Iris. It&#8217;s important to preserve our vision so even if you don&#8217;t use Iris I will still be happy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Iris<\/strong> has a free version that you can try. You can also <a href=\"https:\/\/iristech.co\/buy\/\">buy<\/a> a lifelong license for Iris for $15.
