We are talking about Roy Raymann, the engineer responsible for Night Shift and Dream leaves the company without making too much noise. The recent arrival of the Night Shift option in the latest official version of the macOS operating system left us with a somewhat bittersweet taste, since it is true that the function is interesting for those of us who spend many hours in front of the Mac but also would have liked some more new for this version. Logically this has nothing to do with the departure of Raymann, which seems to have left the Cupertino company after his signing in 2014 to become part of the SleepScore Labs management team, as Vice President of Sleep Science.
In this case, it is unknown if we are facing a totally voluntary and thoughtful departure or on the contrary the contract of this young engineer has ended and has not been renewed. In any case Raymann participated in the development of Night Shift at Apple, that yellow tone that we can give to the screen of our iPhone, iPad or Mac to avoid the controversial blue light. This is a good option for those of us who spend many hours in front of the team as it protects our eyes.
On the other hand, he actively participated in the iPhone alarm clock application with the Sleep option. This option is found in the alarm configuration right in the central option and what allows us to "control" in some way the hours we spend sleeping and it allows us to use an alarm with much more relaxed sounds to wake up smoothly. This option can be configured by days of the week and is registered on the device within the Saldud application, with which we can keep track of sleep.
In principle Raymann was focused on improving the options of the Apple Watch and it is not clear if the proposed objectives have been met or simply with the purchase of the Finnish company Beddit, which is a pioneer startup in “sleep tracker”.
