Features
Full Range XDR Brightness
This is a new approach for unlocking the 1600nits of brightness in Apple's XDR displays, developed in collaboration with Istvan from BetterDisplay.
It has the following key differences from the previous XDR Brightness method:
- It doesn't clip colors in HDR content - no more washed out colors
- The system adaptive brightness keeps working and uses the full range
- There's no lag when going from SDR to XDR brightness
- Can work in tandem with f.lux
Downsides:
- It only works on Apple XDR screens
- The screen will flash one or two times when toggling Full Range
The system will still adapt the maximum nits of brightness based on the ambient light, so you might get a max of 800 nits in a dark room and 1600 nits in sunlight.
Disabling the system adaptive brightness will turn off this behaviour.
Preset unlocking
The Change Screen Preset Shortcut now allows you to unlock various functions that are locked by macOS when using reference presets:
- Brightness Control
- Adaptive Brightness
- Night Shift
- True Tone
Improvements
- Allow overlay dimming to work on Airplay screens when the MacBook is in Blackout
- Automatically use the mirroring method for Blackout when the MacBook is connected to an wireless display

- Fix app hanging when initializing Location Services in some cases
- Fix Dark Mode being disabled erroneously
