A macOS menu bar app that extends Night Shift with app-specific rules, website filtering, and fine-grained color temperature control.
Shifty is a macOS menu bar application that extends the functionality of Apple's Night Shift feature. It allows users to disable Night Shift for specific applications, websites, and custom time periods while providing a slider for fine-tuning color temperature. The tool transforms Night Shift into a customizable power-user feature rather than a basic system setting.
macOS users who want more control over Night Shift behavior, particularly power users, developers, and anyone sensitive to screen color temperature who needs granular rules for different contexts.
Shifty provides granular control over Night Shift that macOS doesn't offer natively, including app-specific rules, website filtering, and custom schedules. It's free, open-source, and adds keyboard shortcuts and quick toggles for convenient access.

Enables creation of time-based rules to automatically enable or disable Night Shift, offering flexibility beyond macOS's default schedule.
Provides a menu bar toggle and global keyboard shortcuts for convenient control, eliminating the need to navigate System Preferences repeatedly.
Website filtering only works with Safari, Chrome, and Vivaldi, excluding popular browsers like Firefox and Edge, as admitted in the README.
The application is designed exclusively for macOS, making it useless for users on other operating systems despite the need for similar features.
Requires macOS 10.12.4 or later and a system that supports Night Shift, so it fails on older or incompatible hardware, limiting its reach.
