5.9.5
Features
Support for M2 Pro/Max
Both Thunderbolt/DP and HDMI connections on M2 Pro/Max should support DDC in this version.
Disconnect screens
You'll notice two new actions in macOS Shortcuts: Disconnect screen and Reconnect screen.
This new method can really disconnect and power off the screen just like closing the MacBook lid or disconnecting a cable would do, freeing up the GPU resources.
You retain the ability to use the MacBook keyboard/trackpad/webcam as usual, and disconnected external monitors usually keep the ability to charge the laptop.
These are the effort of reverse engineering the MacBook's clamshell mode which you can read about in this article
I'm planning to integrate them into BlackOut eventually but there's a lot more testing I have to do first.
Improvements
- Make the arrangements/layouts in Shortcuts work when the main display is not the built-in display
- Add "Set screen as main" Shortcut
- Add a way to disable sensor checking on the network
