I wrote displaymode, a simple command line utility for changing the resolution of the main display of a macOS machine. It lets you run Retina displays at their native resolution. For a recent 15″ MacBook Pro this means 2880×1800 and for the 2018 MacBook Air Retina, 2560×1600
The repository is at https://github.com/p00ya/displaymode and you can download a binary in the releases section.
To get native resolution on the MacBook Air, run:
./displaymode t 2560 1600
and on the MacBook Pro:
./displaymode t 2880 1800
