Welcome to MacBenchForge v1.2.1! This release focuses on stability, accurate hardware detection, and an improved out-of-the-box experience for Apple Silicon Macs.

🚀 What's New

  • Native App Bundle Fixes: Completely resolved an issue where launching the packaged .app bundle or DMG would result in a HTTP ERROR 404. The local server now correctly resolves its internal frontend directory regardless of where it is launched on your Mac.
  • Intelligent Ghost Process Management: Fixed bugs related to overlapping background processes that could cause port conflicts.
  • Advanced VRAM Detection: The hardware UI no longer guesses your VRAM capacity. It now directly queries the macOS kernel (sysctl iogpu.wired_limit_mb) to dynamically detect the exact Metal-wired limit of your Unified Memory. If you are a power user who has manually overridden your Mac's IOGPU memory limits via terminal, the UI will now accurately reflect your custom VRAM headroom in real-time!
  • Comprehensive Audit Fixes: Fixed duplicate background benchmark runs, improved SQLite database thread-safety, bound the local server to 127.0.0.1 for better security, and patched UI rendering issues on radar charts.

🛠️ Installation

  1. Download the MacBenchForge_v1.2.1_AppleSilicon.dmg below.
  2. Open the DMG and drag MacBenchForge.app into your Applications folder.
  3. Launch the app to automatically open your local dashboard!

Note: If you receive a macOS Gatekeeper warning, you can safely bypass it by right-clicking the app and selecting "Open", or by running xattr -cr /Applications/MacBenchForge.app in your terminal.
