Hi Redshift isn’t maintained anymore and lately redshift-gtk doesnt start anymore (something about a python circular dependancy).

What should we use?

    It is probably a good idea to mention what Redshift actually is, since it’s far from the top result in a search, and a lot of people associate that word with an AWS product by the same name. Wikipedia describes the Redshift you presumably mean as:

    an application that adjusts the computer display’s color temperature based upon the time of day.

    It also mentions that gammastep is a more recent fork, but it has not had any commit activity for 2.5 years, so gammastep might be abandoned as well.

      gammastep works just fine for me on sway, and it appears the maintainer is still replying to issues on that repo. i wouldn’t worry too much just yet.

      that said, it seems to not work for hyprland, so for anyone using that, look for something else
