Safer pairing, lighter streaming, a cleaner menu and much richer game keys. Update DyskLink for Android to 1.2.0 too.

New

  • Safer pairing: the 6-digit code now uses a password-authenticated key exchange (CPace). A device listening in the middle of your Wi-Fi can no longer work the code out, and gets at most one guess per attempt.
  • Lighter streaming: the phone's screen, camera, sound and files travel as raw bytes instead of text, about 25% less data, and sound pauses during silence. Large files send noticeably faster.
  • Game keys: a settings panel beside the phone picture while editing. Add several joysticks (WASD, arrows, IJKL or your own keys, with a walk/run modifier), skill aim (hold, aim with the mouse, release to cast; Esc cancels), swipes, and keys that hold, auto-fire or play a combo.
  • Menu bar: "where the power goes" is now a simple list with small bars and totals that add up, the charge limit is a calmer battery, and the moving shine only shows while charging.

Fixed

  • "Not responding": DyskLink could freeze completely while reading the network address for Wake-on-LAN. That and every other wait on a system tool now runs off the main thread with a time limit.

Updating: install over 1.1.x or 1.0.x. Everything stays, and paired devices stay paired. To pair a new device, both sides need 1.2.0; an older app shows "Update DyskLink on … to pair".

Requires macOS 15 or later on Apple Silicon (any M chip).

Install

  1. Download DyskLink-mac-arm64.zip, unzip it, and move DyskLink to Applications.
  2. The app isn't notarized, so macOS blocks the first launch. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.

This build uses a self-signed certificate, not one from Apple.
