NightShiftEnabler

October 20, 2021 ยท View on GitHub

A Lilu plugin for enabling Night Shift on unsupported Mac models. The plugin is compatible with Lilu 1.5.1 or later and macOS Sierra 10.12.4 or later.

Historical Note

NightShiftEnabler is a simple successor to a now apparently unmaintained unlocker plugin.

Implementation

The current version uses a patch developed by Pike R. Alpha and is based on the "unfair" component of WhateverGreen, which uses a patching strategy originally developed for Polaris22Fixup.

Configuration

  • -nsedbg enables debug printing (available in DEBUG binaries)
  • -nseoff disables the plugin
  • -nsebeta enables the plugin on macOS versions newer than Monterey
