Yep, I think most stuff these days has some form of "night mode" built in.

You can tune the amount of warmth. I'm able to tune it until I'm OK with it, but invariably, I end up needing to look at colors in photos or something which requires going back to normal color.

Yep, I used f.lux years ago. You can tune f.lux for times and amount of warming and dimming. I believe the stuff that's built into Apple stuff can also be tuned, times, color, etc....

That being said, my Mac automatically adjusts the color temp at sunset and then again at sunrise.

Interesting. I got a blue blocking coating added to my last couple of pairs of glasses because I work at a monitor for a living. I've never noticed a difference, but I assume it can't/shouldn't hurt.

Exactly.

Yes, I love dark mode. I don't even have it flip based on time of day. I just set things to permanent dark mode. Not only is it easier on the eyes, but I think it saves electricity/battery.
