Как да активирам?

Купих си Iris, но все още пише че изтича, какво да правя?

Това се случва, защото потребителят не е активирал Iris след като си го е купил

Потребителят получава активационен код след покупка, който може да сложи в Iris, за да активира

Това, което трябва да се направи в случая е да се обясни защо се е получило така, да се изпрати съответния код на потребителя заедно с guide как се активира

Имаме видео в youtube, което го обяснява нагледно:

“https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo_Xt148bkg&index=16&list=PLYgsC6pUhQFpDMsoxDQQgZYaikOFzevw6”

Имаме и статия с сайта:

“https://iristech.co/how-to-install-and-activate-iris/”

Инсталирах, но не виждам никакви промени върху екрана ми

Това най-често се случва, когато мониторът на потребителят е свързан с DisplayLink, USB или някой от по-новите такива кабели и е под Windows

Може да се оправи като се активира high-level API (работи и съществува само под Windows):

“https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z85SbltBL2I&list=PLYgsC6pUhQFpDMsoxDQQgZYaikOFzevw6&index=6”

Отново обясняваме на потребителя защо се е случило и как се оправя като му изпращаме линка с видеото

Пише, че кодът ми вече е използван на друг компютър

Това се получава, когато клиентът се опитва да активира Iris с код, който е използван преди, но не е revoke-нат

Когато се активира с код веднъж, той се “закача” за компютърът на който е използван, за да се използва отново трябва да се “откачи” чрез revoke

Това може да се случи през този линк:

https://iristech.co/license-revoke

Но е добра практика да го правим ние вместо клиентът, през админ панел-ът е нужен само кодът, за да се направи revoke

Тоест, когато имаме въпросният код му правим revoke през админ панела и го изпращаме на потребителя като му казваме, че е готов за използване

През https://iristech.co/license-revoke, освен код, трябва да се въведат имейл и timestamp, добра практика е да изпратим и тях (могат да се видят през панела) на клиента, за да може в бъдеще той сам да направи revoke

Може ли Iris ама без да плащам?

Ами, не може 😀 Има потребители, които доста ясно показват, че не оценяват продукта особено, но в същото време искат да го използват без да плащат, защото [въведи причина тук]

Окей да подаряваме безплатен код на хора, които са купували преди от нас/ харесват и оценяват продукта ни, но не е окей да подаряваме безплатен код на хора, които просто спамят и нахалстват за нещо безплатно, каквото и да е

За това в случая им изпращаме нещо от този сорт:

Как се спира таймера?

Iris има таймер, който ти напомня да си почиваш от време на време, за да не се натоварват очите ти толкова

Някои хора не го харесват, за това им казваме как да го спрат, имаме видео tutorial, за това как се случва:

“https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZcnf1o5a5I&index=7&list=PLYgsC6pUhQFpDMsoxDQQgZYaikOFzevw6”

Как да поканя приятели, за да удължа trial периода?

В Iris можеш да каниш приятели и когато те си свалят през твоят линк и двамата получавате +1 месец бонус

Имаме статия, която покрива пълният процес за това как се канят приятели тук:

Как да купя с кредитна/ дебитна карта, не искам PayPal?

Има хора, които не искат и не използват PayPal (или не е наличен за тяхната държава), за това те могат да си купят с карта, използвайки 2checkout:
“https://iristech.co/buy-2checkout/”

Има ли Iris за телефон?

Имаме Iris за iOS и за Андроид

Версията на iOS се инсталира една идея по-сложно и е безплатна

Имаме guide как се инсталира тук:

The post Често срещани проблеми при потребители на Iris appeared first on 💡👨‍💻 Iris - Software for Eye protection, Health and Productivity 🛌👀.

The main 2 bad things that monitors do are:

1. Emit Blue Light
   
   Artificial blue light is very bad for our eyes and at the same time, it’s emitted by almost everything. It prevents us from having a good night’s sleep and can lead to macular degeneration in the long-term
2. Use PWM Flicker
   
   I know it may sound a little crazy but our eyes basically look like this while looking at a flickering screen:

Which as you can guess, is very bad for our eyes.

PWM Flicker is basically the computer screen turning on and off again thousands of times per second and while we can’t perceive it with our eyes our brains can

The best thing to do while having both these in mind is to download Iris

Iris can lower the amount of Blue Light down to 0% and is the only program that can also fully remove PWM flicker

Download Iris

Last year 2017 Iris was freemium with the option to unlock all features by buying the Pro version. This means that you can use Iris for free forever but with limited options.

You can find the last freemium version here for Windows

Note that I improve Iris a lot all the time and they may be a little buggy and not user-friendly because this was the beginning of this project, but they still work 🙂

Turtles have the ability to stay grounded, even in moments of disturbances and chaos.

They symbolize determination, persistence, emotional strength and understanding, all of the things you need to read this article or maybe to wait for me fix some bug I haven’t found yet 🙂

Iris

Bellow, you will find most common user questions I receive my e-mail. They are arranged in random order and new things are added to the end.

Iris doesn’t work on my second monitor

If you use USB monitor or DisplayLink or other docking station Iris may not work on your second monitor.

You can fix this by using High-level Color API on Windows

For macOS I am still searching for a way to do this, but USD monitors don’t support gamma changes by default.

New drivers of DisplayLink may also help you as they started to support gamma changes.

Is there a way for my Iris to turn on automatically at startup?

Iris should start automatically on startup at every system.

On macOS, there is system protection ad you must move the app to some other folder, not the Downloads folder because it will not start automatically if it’s in the Downloads folder.

On all systems check if Start on startup checkbox is checked.

I paid for Iris Pro but haven’t received activation code

When you buy Iris Pro or Iris mini Pro you need to wait for redirection back to the Iris website.

After the redirection, you will see screen like this

If you didn’t wait and closed the browser tab you need to write to me to create your activation code by hand. Please note that I receive a lot of e-mails and my response may be slow, but I will either refund your money or create your new activation code 🙂

See this page on how to proceed

https://iristech.co/license-create/

For activation, instructions see this page

https://iristech.co/how-to-install-and-activate-iris/

Monitor is blinking between the Iris setting and the regular blue light of my monitor

Several programs for blue light may conflict with each other.

If you use both Iris and Iris mini quit one of them.

If you use both Iris and f.lux quit one of them.

Same goes for every other combination of blue light reduction software which conflicts with each other.

Iris doesn’t conflict with Windows and macOS integrated blue light reduction features 🙂

Keep flashing between ON and OFF

If the above is not the case, some video card drivers also constantly want to change the display gamma and calibrate the screen and this may also cause flicker.

You need to somehow quit the conflicting process of your video card.

High-level API should also fix this problem on Windows

What are the registry changes to unlock lower values?

On the first start, Iris may ask you to make some changes to the Registry.

This is nothing to be afraid of and the goal of this is Iris to work faster when you want lower values.

By default, you have a cap on color changes to somewhere around 3900K.

To go lower you need to unlock the gamma or use Iris high-level API.

If you want to know the exact settings that Iris changes see this file:

Download “unlock_gamma_ramp.reg” unlock_gamma_ramp.reg – 166.00 B

To delete these changes Run this file:

Download “lock_gamma_ramp.reg” lock_gamma_ramp.reg – 164.00 B

Why Iris doesn’t let me choose install location

You can move the folder by hand after installation.

The reason for this is because Iris doesn’t want Admin rights right away and this actually helps with Privacy and Security.

You can find the location of the installation here:

Other programs like Chrome also do this so here are the benefits of installing without Admin access.

You can install Iris on computers at your work which doesn’t allow app installations

Iris can install because it doesn’t require Admin access.

At the first start, it may ask you to unlock the gamma via Regedit which requires admin access but if you don’t give it, Iris will use High-level API which may be a little slower but will still work.

You can feel more secure

Computer programs can do a lot of bad things if you give them Admin access and install them in Program Files.

Iris have an installer with admin access but I don’t distribute is as the default download for the reasons above.

You can always move the installation folder by hand and Iris will still work.

Iris is easier to clean from the computer

%LOCALAPPDATA% is folder per user which means that Iris will be deleted if you delete the user and create a new one.

This may help if there is a bug which makes the monitor colors broken or black. This think should not happen but is one more thing to make Iris removal easier.

Iris doesn’t change colors on Windows 7

Try to Enable Aero.

This may happen if you use High-level Color API. For it to work on Windows 7 you need Aero to be enabled.

Low-level API should work without Aero but will not work with USB monitors.

Another cause of this problem if you use Low-level color API may be that you don’t have drivers for your video card installed.

I’m having trouble figuring out how to use the sliders. Nothing is happening

If this is your first installation of Iris and gamma range is not expanded you are using High-level Color API but it needs Aero to be enabled to work.

If you have expanded the color range you need to restart your PC for Iris to start to work perfectly.

There is something else that if it’s Day and you are moving the Night slider it will not change anything on the screen because it’s day and the night has not come yet.

Every string into the application can be found here

https://github.com/danielng01/iris-translations

In this example we will use Bulgarian as starting point and you will understand from there what to do.

First locate your language translations file. This is the file ending in .ts
Files ending in .qm are the compiled translation files

In our example this is the file

Click the link then click Raw

Now with Right click -> Save as
Save the file somewhere on your PC

Now you can just edit this file by hand with some regular text editor or use the special Qt Linguist which is more user friendly. You can download Qt Liguist from this link

https://github.com/danielng01/iris-translations/raw/master/Linguist/linguist.exe

The UI looks like this

When you are finished send me the new file to

daniel@iristech.co

I will replace it and you will have your new awesome translation in the next version.

If you want to translate Iris to new language use iris_en.ts or some other file as placeholder and just create duplicate the file and change it’s contents.

Here is video showing the above steps

The post How to Translate Iris appeared first on 💡👨‍💻 Iris - Software for Eye protection, Health and Productivity 🛌👀.

For this to work you will need:

1. Google Chrome
2. Invite All Friends on Facebook Chrome Extension
3. Facebook account

Go to the Iris Facebook page here:

https://www.facebook.com/iristech.co/

In the right part of the page, there is Invite friends to like this Page button

Click it and window like this will open

Scroll down your friends a little

After you have installed Invite All Friends on Facebook Chrome Extension click the checkbox in the top right corner of the screen. A window like this will open and the extension will start to invite your friends automatically

If you have many Facebook friends after some time you will get a notification like this

Do the same steps the next day again for several days until you have invited all your Facebook friends.

Thank you very much for supporting Iris

Daniel 🙂
