Tammy Vogelgesang,

Same here. I registered it using the GOTD-supplied code, yet today it popped up a window stating the trial had expired.

I still had my GOTD ZIP file, so I re-opened the README.TXT file to copy and then re-enter the registration code again. Time will tell how long it stays "registered" this go-around.

HMarx, I just did the same thing, so let's hope it stays as registered! Thanks!!

Tammy Vogelgesang, sorry for the inconvenience
If the issue arises again write to us at contact@iristech.co for assistance

Valentina, Thank you! So far, it's good!!!

Tammy Vogelgesang, enjoy :)

George Tuck, Well every operating system is a grand claim but the developer is attempting to meet that claim if you look at his website https://iristech.co/ just below the Download For Free button there are seven dark grey icons that represent different platforms and I guess the one you are interested in is the Apple icon https://iristech.co/category/iris-new-version/osx/

and ultimatly you'll end up at https://iristech.co/download-osx once you try and download using an MacOS (X) based machine and browser.

George Tuck,
the software does come for every OS, but the current giveaway is only for windows :)

Valentina, technically it does not come in builds for EVERY operating system... maybe all common operating systems but I see no UNIX port or a CP/M port or apple DOS and numerous other legacy operating systems even Windows 95/98/ME not to forget the Windows 3.x and earlier operating systems and OS/2 now called ArcaOS 5.0... "Every Operating" system requires you to radically redefine what constitutes an Operating System to narrow it down to Windows\Linux\Android\iOS\MacOS\Chrome\WindowsPhone. What about all the symbian phones and pre-android compatible Blackberry phones and Windows CE embeded devices that are not windows phones like satnavs etc.

TK, Well, in that case yes
Let me rephrase then - it comes for the most popular OS :)

TK,
We have a system that gives the codes used a unique tail so it can be recognised on a certain device, so naturally the code you used last year will expire

Valentina,

In case you are being "Notify me of replies from other users":

Please check comment #14 by Tammy Vogelgesang and myself.

Thanks!

HMarx, thanks for notifying me, sorry for the inconvenience, if the issue arises again please write to me at contact@iristech.co

TK,
This giveaway is for 1 year only, but we always have discounts, offers and giveaways on our site so stay tuned for one that suits you better
There are quite a few people that have subscribed monthly to our services, that I believe to be 'in their right mind' :)
The effects of blue-colored light are not a 'placebo' thing as I understand you are claiming but it's basic light physics - light waves with shorter wavelengths have higher energy and thus can do greater damage to tissues
Iris does consider the environment brightness on the Automatic mode and we always recommend adjusting correctly to your surroundings
You say the light of a screen pales compared to room lighting - that varies greatly by what room you're in and the lighting you have in your room - for example, I have very low-brightness lights on in my room and thus have to lower the brightness of my laptop screen :)
And as for your last statements all I have to say is 'that's nice for you', but many people all over the world, me included, don't have the luck to be invincible and thus suffer from all kinds of eye-diseases

Valentina, Errr no I said psychosematicly and not placebo since placebo effect IS scientificly proven to have a quantifiable physical effect unrelated to stress hormone reduction in true cases of placebo effect.

Psychosomatically means the reduction in stress that could possibly reduce a stress headache or eye ache is purely down to the minds altered stress reaction to the idea that "I've fond a way to take control of a bit of the world that I thought was the cause of my discomfort" but no physical change has happened just stress hormones have reduced to the brain felling less stressed.
Also your statement that blue-coloured has a shorter wavelength so has a higher energy level than the longer wavelengths and that by some magic (not scientific evidence) causes damage to tissue is untrue and deliberatly misleading! Except for the tiny minority of people that have a genetic disorder that causes chronic photosensativity. Basic physics and biology... Visible Blue light is NOT damaging in normal intensity ranges to any human cells neither are any other visible light wavelelengths. Human cells especially the externally facing ones are designed to be exposed to visible light on this planet with no detrimental effects. Now UV-A/B and shorter wavelengths are scientifically ionising radiation because exposure to those shorter than visible wavelengths can dislodge outer orbting electrons and ionise the affected atoms which can lead to damaging bio-chemical reactions BUT no CRT/LCD/OLED/Plasma screens produce UV radiation and certainly do not provide any hardware or software controls to adjust UV output of the display since the technology does not produce it in the first place! To claim blue light is physically damaging based upon the basic and unrelated physics that it has a higher energy value is pseudo-science plain and simple. If it were then we could say green light is higher energy than red light so it must be damaging too so we should disable Green display output... or say Red is higher energy than Infra red so is more damaging so we should remove the Red colour exposure too... but hang on.... microwaves are even lower energy is even lower energy than infra red so must be less damaging? Errrr no the pseudo-science fake news is used by those that can't baffle by briliance so try to impress by Bu******.
Bio-chemistry does not respond to kndergarden science. I never claimed to be invincible or without health problems but I don't rely upon pseudo-science to make me feel better about myself or my actions.

TK, I'm just going to leave these here and wish you a great weekend :)

Valentina, It is possible to pull up websites and articles off the internet that say anything you want, as well as possible to put articles on the web to support outrageous claims... The only verifyable claim I am aware of is that blue light and long wave UV can confuse the eyes ability to focus cleanly which for a while produced the fad of Orange lens sun glasses to filter out the blue to UV range of light and they do make things apear clearer but the removal of the Blue light component increases the effects on those that suffer Seasonally Affected Disorder as the removal of the blue component confuses the brains internal clock and reduces the seratonin production which in some percentage of the worlds population tips their brain chemistry into seratonin deficiency and induces a seasonal depressive disorder. Check it out it's commonly called SAD. That is caused by the lack of your allegedly harmful blue wavelengths... Also lack of enough high energy photons on the skin can result in a serious Vitamin D deficiency requiring dietary suplimentation of Vitamine D3 to prevent debilitating condition of Risckets and reduced Immune system function and anecdotal evidences for Vitamin D3 deficiency contributing to various depressive dissorders too. Blue light wavelengths have been part of our natural existance since we've existed as a species we are designed and used to be naturally selected to make use of all the wavelengths of the prevalent light wavelengths from infra-red to keep us warm to ultra-violet to allow us to manufacture Vitamin D3 within our bodies and short wavelength Blue light (violet) present in real daylight to help keep our circadian rythm in sync with the day light hours.

As with all forms of EM radiation and almost everything else excessive exposure to ANY EM wavelength will have detrimental effects on the human body and most other biological life forms... too much EM and cells will cook... too much UV light occours at a lower exposure level due to it mainly being produced by quantum events of electrons swapping orbit and has the ability to ionise atoms in the skin that can lead to chemical changes in exposed material like skin, the cornea, lens and retinal cells. But visible blue light has no such proven risks and only reputable allegation against blue light is it may reduce the production of melatonin that in some people can make going to sleep more difficult. But really the brain converts Seratonin into Melatonin so if there is insufficient Seratonin precursor hanging around at the end of the day then there will be insuffient Melatonin produced.... Also if blue light is so bad for us and makes sleep so difficult how on earth do people fall asleep in a sunbed or while out sunbathing only to wake and find they have become lobster pink and they didn't know or feel a thing or even try to sleep... it just happened despite the blue and UV light ... the reason is they let their minds switch off and relase and sleep is the natural end result. All people I have discussed their sleep problems and documentaries all report it's their minds insistance on mulling over agrivating or anxiety based thoughts that prevent sleep, whether it is agrevation by physical disorders like restless leg syndrom or tinitus or external events like the neighbours playing loud music or some profound abuse one had suffered that continues to haunt their mind and other mind agrevating subject matter combined with the need to get some sleep produces a trickle of noreadrenalin as well as other stress chemicals increasing the individuals mental arousal far more than any LCD blue light output ever could. I have come to this conclusion because I have found myself fully capable of sleeping during broad daylight if that is how my body clock has shifted to, I can sleep with TV on at day time volume or loud if necesary... I can sleep when people outside my dwelling are making loud but legitimate day time noises that may wake me but once I recognise it's perfectly legit noises like children playing or vacuum cleaners etc because I choose not to get annoyed my mind does not increase alertness and so does not prevent me from going back off to sleep. Same goes for Tinnitus I have had persitent multi-high frequency tones across the stereo sound stage between my ears type ofTinnitus for decades but because I refuse to be annoyed by it and just work around the persistent noise when awake it does not stress me so does not affect my peace or sleep. It only affects my hearing and prevents my ears muscles relaxing to hear the really quiet sounds. If you don't allow yourself to be stressed when you need to sleep the light colours, surrounding noises or even certain activites like driving for long periods cannot prevent you from sleeping. Even persistant pain in itself does not have the power to prevent the brain from switching into sleep phase but internally fighting against that which you cannot curently change will ALLWAYS prevent you from falling to sleep as and when you need to.

P.S. Just because an article or a person asks a question, for example "blue light is there risk of harm"
there is an presumption really there maybe a risk? wow ... when logic dictates the reader should assume the article is click bait and attmpting to push some idea the author intends... If there was any real evidence that blue light is harmful and should be avoided because of some real danger to everyone then the article would STATE it unecquivically a bit like how I did about UV being ionising radiation which can cause chemical changes within living cells it is a scientific fact not an extrapolation of a scientific fact to make pseudo science like in that opto.ca is just a collection of articles with no accredited authority... e.g. it claims Astigmatisim is purely a cornea curvature defect which in common astigmatisim it usually is but it can also be a lens focusing defect where there cand be defect to the physical lens corrupting the shape when the brain attempts to focus on details... or in my case due to critical oxygen starvation when I was an early teen my visual cortex was damaged and that has affected my brains ability to control the lens shape properly in both eyes and because it is not a static cornea geomitry based astigmatisim its severity and even existance is subject to fatigue and other conditions so conventional optical correction only works while the condition matches the visual coretex ability at the time of the test. Sometimes there is no astigmatisim when using the corrective lenses and at other times a different apparent astigmatisim can occour which disapears if I switch to lenses that do no try to correct the astigmatisim because at that point the astigmatisim has ceased and so corneal reshaping is NOT a solution for my eyes astigmatisim because it's not a static geometric shape problem but a dynamic control problem which cannot be corrected by a single perminant compensating operation.

So the answer to the opto.ca repositry article question is according to ALL current and present sound accredited research no harm is attributed to visible BLUE light to normal non-photosensative biological life. It is an essential constituant of the life cycle of all humans and if it is withdrawn artificailly the subjects will eventually have to have suppliments and quite likely medication to comensate to its absence.

You can find information on the web that pupports a flat earth, or MMR and other vacinations being harmful, or that having cleaned and typed blood transfusion some how equates to eating or drinking blood by some pseudo religions which then prohibit their members from intravenous life saving blood products. logical discernment to discern truth from pseudo-science and pseudo-faith and false reports on events around the world, collectively known as FAKE NEWS is a requirement for all modern internet users if they want to not have their minds perverted/controlled by individuals playing games and corporate and political party and state sponsored attempts to manipulate the general populus by plausable deceptions presented as facts.
You have a good week end too :-)

paul jacob,
Thank you for supporting us

Belga,
Go to Advanced view -> Settings menu and check the use low-level color API box to stop the effects of Iris on screenshots

Valentina,
I don't have this option in Advanced settings, but thanks!

Belga, If you don't see the settings menu, enable it from Features

Valentina,
I am in the advanced settings menu and i don't see it.
I don't know if the OS change something (i'm under Win 8.1) and i can't post an snapshot here...

Belga, write us at contact@iristech.co with a screenshot if you want

Cedar, ever consider reading the readme.txt file?

TK, That's excellent advice for sure, and something I always have done, including today. But only now did I figure out that the top of the Readme.txt file was off one of my monitor's screens, which I didn't notice, and the pertinent info about registering was hidden from me there. Mystery solved!

andario,

IrisTech actually has a fairly extensive review of f.lux (May, 2017):

https://iristech.co/f-lux-4-beta-review-windows/

HMarx,

Apparently, under "Screen Effects" on the "Advanced" tab, the following vision issues are addressed to some extent within IRIS (vs VISION, mentioned previously):

Photanopia Photanomaly Deuteranopia Deuteranomaly Tritanopia Tritanomaly Achromatopsia Achromatomaly

Interesting!

Also, the following wording seemed awkward to me:

Under Advanced (tab) > System > "Hide Taskbar icon on close"

...it seems that it ought to read "Hide to Taskbar icon on close" or perhaps "Hide to System Tray icon on close" which, I think, better conveys the intent of the resulting action when that option box is checked/activated.

Jackie K., "something similar" it's not the same.

galobun, To get "something" exactly as-is, byte for byte, would be called Iris Pro 1.1.9 :-)

Barry Johnson, You're very thorough - I commend you! (And I'm not being facetious.)

Jim C,
Enjoy :)
