Cyph3rfall v1.3
Cyph3rfall v1.3
A focused performance and reliability release.
What's new
Performance
- Glyph rendering now uses a pre-warmed CGImage bitmap atlas — eliminates cold-start jank and replaces per-frame Core Text layout with GPU-accelerated bitmap blits
- Frame rate raised to 60fps (was 30fps) — smoother animation especially on high-refresh displays
- Glyph mutation rate halved — reduces CPU work with no perceptible visual change
Bug fixes
- Fixed CVDisplayLink not stopping after screensaver dismissal — was causing persistent ~30% CPU usage in the background
- Fixed glyph mutation rate regression introduced in a previous session
New feature
- Show clock and message overlays on main display only — new toggle in Settings → General for multi-monitor setups
Tested on
- MacBook Pro M5
- Mac Mini M4 with dual displays (4K + 1440p high-refresh rate)
Installation
- Download Cyph3rfall-v1.3.dmg
- Open the DMG and drag Cyph3rfall to your Applications folder
- Launch — no Gatekeeper prompt, installs and runs cleanly
Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later
