CoMote vs Still

CoMote is an application that transmits the smartphone movement sensors values (accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers) in real time using WiFi. Connected to applications such as CoMo or Koral, the smartphone becomes a gestural musical instrument, enabling sounds to be triggered and modified by movement. Setting the WiFi network parameters is made easy by using a QR code generated by the application. The CoMote application can be used with any software that uses the OSC protocol or Websockets. CoMote is being developed by the Interaction-Sound-Music-Movement team at IRCAM (STMS-lab Ircam - CNRS - Sorbonne University) in partnership with the association Arts Convergences. With the support of : Fondation MAAF, Fondation Falret, Département des Yvelines, and the Afnic Foundation (Fondation de France). Until version 1.2 CoMote was produced with the support of: Éducation Nationale (Edu-up) and Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ELEMENT project).

Still blocks animated images and motion effects in Safari, giving you a calm, static browsing experience. What it blocks: • Animated GIFs — replaced with a static placeholder. Includes GIFs served via image-proxy URLs (Next.js, Cloudinary) and cross-origin CDNs that often slip past simpler blockers • Animated WebP and APNG — detected by inspecting file headers; static images display normally • Script-driven animation — text and images that zoom, slide or fade in as a page loads, and scroll-driven effects on marketing sites, appear in their final position instead of moving there • Sliding carousels and smooth-scroll jumps — image strips and "back to top" buttons land instantly • CSS transitions and animations, including subtle ones (crossfades, opacity pulses, sliding banners) and those inside web components • SVG animations and CSS background-image animations • Autoplaying video — videos stay paused until you press play • Per-site rule pack — sites with known animation patterns get tailored protection without breaking the rest of the page What it doesn't break: • Static images (JPEG, PNG, SVG, WebP) display normally • Page layout and functionality are preserved • Per-site allowlist lets you enable animations on sites you trust • Global on/off toggle in the extension popup Built for people with vestibular sensitivities, migraine triggers, or anyone who just wants the web to hold still. Still runs entirely on-device. No data is collected, transmitted, or stored.
