AetherSwitch 1.5.1

Build 2026100301 · · Apple silicon · macOS 14+

Fix external display blackout at zero brightness and reliable recovery with clear software blackout labeling.

Blackout at zero brightness

  • Uses system gamma curves to black out the image at minimum hardware brightness and restores the image when brightness increases.
  • Clearly labels software blackout which does not power off the external display or its backlight.

Recovery and cleanup

  • Reopens the uniquely matched DDC connection after blackout and retries transient communication failures a bounded number of times.
  • Restores original per-display color curves on normal exit and preserves newer system or application curves while preventing late operations from blacking out displays again.
