  • darkreader

    Dark Reader Chrome and Firefox extension

  • I've used f.lux for years until I enabled dark mode at the OS level and in the apps settings for those that require it.

    More importantly installed the Dark Reader extension (https://darkreader.org). This one is incredible: it's much nicer to browser the Web in dark mode than to make page reddish. I now enable Dark Reader at all time (day and night) and can't stand the screen of my coworkers (so dazzling).

    Idem for my Android device.

    The only app/webpage I don' apply dark mode/reader to is Google Maps. For now…

  • Lunar

    Intelligent adaptive brightness for your external monitors

  • gbmonctl

    CLI control utility for Gigabyte M32U monitors over USB (to not use OSD sidekick)

  • Funnily enough I built a tool that does the same for my gigabyte monitor:

    https://github.com/kelvie/gbmonctl

    Along with some systemd scripts to toggle it for sunruse/sunset.

  • sleep-lights

    💤 automating my lights to improve sleep quality

  • here's the script I used to control my Hue lights on a similar curve to f.lux from Linux:

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
