Products that do what Stillcolor – Reduce eyestrain on macOS by disabling temporal dithering does

Recently got an M3 Max MBP which gave me severe eyestrain after less than an hour of use. Turns out the major cause for that was temporal dithering at the GPU level. I built Stillcolor to disable temporal dithering from user space, which helped massively reduce eyestrain with little to no degradation in image quality.
