NightShiftPatcher

Enable Night Shift on unsupported machines

Original idea by Pike

Motivated by NightPatch

Contributions

  • macOS 10.14 Mojave compatibility fix by @albinoz

How to use

  1. Download the latest stable script from the Releases section
  2. Disable SIP*
  3. Execute NightShiftPatcher.sh script
  4. Don't forget to reenable SIP. This is not required, but recommended for system security ;)

In case of error

  • If the system does not boot, restart in single-user mode or with the recovery partition

  • You can restore the backup using the NightShiftPatcher script since 1.0 version with the -r option:

    ./NightShiftPatcher.sh -r

  • The backup file can be found here:

    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreBrightness.framework.bak

  • If you used an old NightShiftPatcher script (before September 2018), first remove those files from the backup:

    sudo -s; f='/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreBrightness.framework.bak/Versions/Current/CoreBrightness'; rm "${f}.temp"; rm "${f}.tbd"; exit;

  • To restore the backup with the terminal, you can use this terminal line:

    sudo -s; f='/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreBrightness.framework'; mv "${f}" "${f}.hack"; mv "${f}.bak" "${f}"; exit;
