Windows 10 Version of F.lux App Confirmed

[Batu69]

App could soon launch in the store, according to dev company

   Desktop version of F.lux

 

F.lux is one of the most advanced applications that can warm up the display at night to make it easier on the eye and it’s no surprise that so many people are using it, despite the fact that OS developers have started implementing similar features right into their products.

While Apple is already offering Night Shift on the iPhone to provide F.lux-like functionality to its users, Microsoft is only now believed to be working on a so-called Blue Light Reduction option for Windows 10. But according to a new report, users might not have to wait for Microsoft’s feature because F.lux is on its way to Windows 10.

When asked by a user if the company is working on bringing F.lux in the Windows Store, one of the developers participating in the creation of the app confirmed that “yes,” the app is indeed headed to Windows 10 and should become available for download at some point in the future.

Ported with Project Centennial

There are no specifics available at the moment and, obviously, it’s too early to tell if the company plans to make it universal or not, but given the fact that F.lux already works on the desktop, that shouldn’t be too hard to achieve given the bridges that Microsoft is already offering.

Most likely, F.lux will be ported to the Windows Store with Project Centennial, a set of tools that allow developers to bring Win32 apps to the Store quite easily. The same functionality is being offered, so you won’t miss any features, but apps that are ported to the store also benefit from universal app functionality, such as live tiles and Cortana support.

There’s no doubt that F.lux would be a great addition to the Windows Store, especially if it lands as a universal app because Windows 10 Mobile users would absolutely love it. For the moment, however, no other specifics are available, so don’t get your hopes too high, but at least we know it’s coming.
