True Tone is not an app that you can download from the App Store, but it is a feature built into the display of certain Apple devices, including the iMac. True Tone adjusts the color temperature of your display based on the ambient lighting in your environment to make colors look more natural and reduce eye strain.

To turn on True Tone on your iMac running macOS Big Sur, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the Apple menu in the upper left corner of your screen.
  2. Select "System Preferences" from the drop-down menu.
  3. Click on "Displays" in the System Preferences window.
  4. Make sure the "Display" tab is selected.
  5. Check the box next to "True Tone" to turn it on.

If you still can't find the True Tone option, it's possible that your iMac model doesn't support True Tone. You can check Apple's website to see if your specific iMac model supports True Tone. Alternatively, you can contact Apple Support for further assistance.
