Boost targets AWDL-related Wi-Fi stutter. It does not increase hardware performance or guarantee a latency improvement. AirDrop, peer-to-peer AirPlay, and some Continuity features may be unavailable during Boost; end Boost when you need them. Auto follows the app's lifetime, including time spent in its menus or background.
Validation
All 28 automated tests and universal builds passed locally and in GitHub Actions. Manual on/off and Punktfunk launch/quit were checked against the actual AWDL interface, along with helper authentication, lease expiry, disconnect recovery, and removal. Streaming FPS/latency gains were not benchmarked; Intel and older macOS runtime coverage remain open. See the validation record.
