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.

Thank you so much, aiaf. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and have been experiencing some crazy eye strain. I've been testing this app for the past three days, and so far, it seems to have removed all my issues.

Amazing piece of software and investigation into temporal dithering in the non-Intel macs. Thank you!
