On Windows, Sensory Tint and Sensory Ruler provide screen tinting and a reading ruler. On macOS, these equivalent functions are built into the operating system and accessible from here.

Invert colours

Inverting the display colours swaps the screen so text appears light on a dark background. This can significantly reduce glare for users who find bright white screens uncomfortable.

Screen tint

macOS allows you to apply a colour filter to the entire display — the equivalent of a screen tint overlay. Go to System Settings → Accessibility → Display → Colour Filters, enable Colour Filters, and choose the tint colour and intensity that suits you.

Text size and contrast

You can increase text size across macOS and adjust display contrast from the Display Settings panel. A larger text size or higher contrast makes reading significantly easier across all applications.
