f.lux is a commonly used app which warms and tones down your screen's colors at night so that you can work late without the bright blue light playing havoc with your sleep cycle. And it works very well, I couldn't live without it.
If like me however you've been plagued by seemingly inexplicable pops and clicks in your DAW, even when CPU usage is fairly light, and you've tried everything to get to the bottom of it, try putting f.lux in "safe mode" (it's in the options). This stops it from polling the screen every few seconds, which tonight I found was the source of 100% of my audio glitches! Now all the glitches have gone and I'm so happy. f.lux has been the source of glitches and dropouts for many people, not just audio related but also game graphics related as well. Safe mode makes it better :)
