## Kitsmith's take

Shifty doesn’t replace Night Shift — it wraps it, adding things Apple’s version doesn’t offer: disabling the color shift for specific apps or websites (Safari, Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi), a Quick Toggle for one-click on/off, Dark Mode that follows the Night Shift schedule, and global keyboard shortcuts. Free and open source (GPLv3), donation-supported, distributed via GitHub releases.

## Features

- **Per-app & per-website exceptions:** Disable Night Shift for specific apps, or for specific websites in Safari, Chrome, Opera, or Vivaldi.
- **Quick Toggle:** One click (or a global keyboard shortcut) to turn Night Shift on or off without opening System Settings.
- **Dark Mode scheduling:** Sets Dark Mode to follow the same schedule as Night Shift.
- **True Tone rules:** Extends the same app/website rules to True Tone on supported Macs.

## FAQ

**Do I still need Night Shift turned on to use Shifty?**

Yes — Shifty adds scheduling and exception controls on top of Night Shift, it doesn’t replace the underlying color-shifting feature.

**Is Shifty free?**

Yes — free and open source under the GPLv3 license.
