melatonin suppression from evening screen light.

ScreenMercy warms every Mac in your fleet as the sun sets and cools it as the sun rises, tuned to each person's real horizon. Less late-night glare, steadier focus, calmer eyes. One quiet utility, deployed across the whole team with nothing for engineers to configure.
Privacy-first. Zero telemetry. Deploys via Jamf, Kandji, and Mosyle. macOS native, 6 MB.
The problem
Your engineers debug at midnight, answer on-call pages at 3 a.m., and stare into bright editors long after the sun is down. A cold, blue-heavy screen at those hours fights the body's own clock. The result shows up where you can least afford it: harder-won focus, restless sleep, and slower mornings on the days you need sharp thinking most.
This is not a soft problem. Evening screen light has been shown to suppress melatonin by roughly 55 percent and push the body's clock back by about an hour and a half, delaying sleep and dulling next-morning alertness (Harvard, PNAS). Across the workforce, insufficient sleep costs US employers an estimated $411 billion a year in lost productivity (RAND Europe, via Fortune).

ScreenMercy reads the real position of the sun above each engineer's horizon and shifts their display accordingly. Warm by dusk, clear by dawn, with no schedules to manage and nothing for your team to configure. It lives quietly in the menu bar and gets out of the way of deep work.
Most tools flip at a set hour. ScreenMercy tracks the actual sun above each person's location, so the transition feels natural wherever your team works.
This is the rare team tool with no onboarding. IT sets the defaults once, and every engineer gets a screen that just works from day one. Optional per-display and per-app control for those who want it.
No popups, no nags, no break reminders. It does one thing well and never pulls your team out of flow.

The ROI
A senior engineer on a fully loaded salary near $150,000 costs roughly $1.20 a minute of productive time. A team plan runs about $2 a month per seat. If ScreenMercy helps an engineer reclaim even a few minutes of clearer focus a day, or one slightly better night of sleep a week, it has already paid for itself many times over (Develocity on developer tool ROI).
"Recover ten focused minutes a day from one engineer, and the license pays for itself in under a week."
Fatigue quietly costs employers $1,200 to $3,100 per employee per year (CDC). ScreenMercy is a rounding error against that number.
How it deploys
ScreenMercy was built to be deployed, not babysat. Push a signed, notarized package through your existing MDM, apply your preferred defaults, and you are done. No per-user accounts, no Apple ID juggling, no manual installs.

FAQ
Night Shift is a basic built-in feature with a limited warmth range, limited scheduling, no team deployment story, and no per-display or per-app control. Some users also report that it behaves inconsistently after sleep, updates, or display changes. ScreenMercy is purpose-built for deeper screen comfort: real sun-position timing using optional macOS Location Services or manually entered coordinates, richer controls, and a team-ready deployment path.
Push the signed, notarized package through Jamf, Kandji, Mosyle, Intune, or another MDM that supports macOS package deployment. A single license key or pre-activation file covers the team. Most fleets are live in under an afternoon.
None. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no outbound network calls. Everything runs on the device.
Yes. IT sets fleet-wide defaults through a managed configuration profile, so your team gets a screen that works correctly from the first launch.
Yes. Business and Enterprise plans support invoices, purchase orders, vendor onboarding, and security review. Custom contract terms are available case by case for larger Business and Enterprise rollouts.
No. Auto-location is optional. Employees can type coordinates manually and never grant macOS Location Services permission. Either way, location is only used locally for solar calculations and is not transmitted by the product app.
