Night Shift Keeper
Free to try; $12.99 one-time to unlock Always On
Price checked at source September 18, 2026.
Keeps macOS’s built-in Night Shift running around the clock instead of resetting at midnight or after sleep — free to try, $12.99 one-time to unlock Always On.
Our take
Doesn’t add its own color-shifting engine — it automates and persists the Night Shift feature already built into macOS, which otherwise resets daily and drops after sleep, reboot, or a display change. The free download lets you try it; unlocking always-on persistence and a custom color-temperature slider is a single $12.99 purchase, no subscription.

Worth knowing: Developer identity on the site is the product name itself, not an individual or studio name — no separate "about" or company page found. It wraps and persists Apple’s own Night Shift API rather than replacing it, so it has nothing to control on a Mac where Night Shift is unsupported.
