AetherRoute 1.1.0

Build 2026100102 · · Apple silicon · macOS 15+

A full redesign in macOS 26 Liquid Glass that follows the system's Liquid Glass and Reduce Transparency settings; Overview, Proxies, DNS, Profiles, Rules and the menu bar panel are rebuilt to be simpler, and large lists render up to twice as fast. The network engine and extensions are unchanged from 1.0.38; verified across the Tart VM matrix and physical Apple Silicon hardware.

Liquid Glass Design

  • The sidebar, cards, buttons and segmented controls use the system's Liquid Glass and follow the Liquid Glass and Reduce Transparency settings in System Settings › Appearance.
  • Pages read like System Settings: a large title, grouped cards and a colour icon for every item.

Rebuilt Pages

  • Overview shows the state at a glance with a shield badge and a VPN-style switch, with live traffic and route details grouped below; the menu bar panel matches.
  • Proxies keeps only choosing and testing nodes; DNS is one summary card; Profiles has a single Add menu; Rules tests a website or IP right at the top.

Faster and Sturdier

  • Connections with 2,000 flows render in about 310 ms instead of 760 ms, and Profiles with large profiles is noticeably faster.
  • Passed the Tart VM 6-dimension network matrix and dual-engine on-device checks on a physical Mac mini (large upload, idle reuse and SNI recovery all passing); Developer ID signed and Apple notarized.
