WattFlow macOS v0.3.0-beta.1

This beta distributes the Powerflow app from the WattFlow macOS repository.

Highlights

  • Native Apple-silicon Mac power monitoring with live system input, system load, battery, screen, and SoC flow visualization.
  • Directional power-flow arrows and explicit *W / Unavailable handling for unsupported sensors.
  • Independent Screen Power and SoC Power display controls.
  • A 100-point real-time power chart with manual Save and Clear actions.
  • Optional chart auto-save when closing the red window button or quitting from the menu-bar icon, provided at least 30 points exist.
  • Persistent history with manual deletion and SQLite cleanup.
  • Safer AppleSMC and IORegistry handling for newer Apple-silicon Macs.
  • Mac-only build: iPhone/iOS monitoring and MobileDevice private-framework linkage are disabled.

Compatibility and signing

  • Apple silicon (arm64) only. Intel Macs are not supported by this build.
  • Tested on an Apple M5 Mac running macOS 26.6.1.
  • The app is ad-hoc signed but not Apple-notarized. macOS Gatekeeper may block the first launch. If it does, open System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.
  • The app name and bundle identifier remain Powerflow. Installing it replaces an existing upstream Powerflow installation.
  • Screen-power telemetry is unavailable on some Mac models; the app displays *W instead of falsely reporting 0.0W.
  • Cmd+Q and the application-menu Quit command do not auto-save the current chart. The red window close button and menu-bar-icon Quit follow the Auto-save Chart setting.
