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

  1. Download Cyph3rfall-v1.3.dmg
  2. Open the DMG and drag Cyph3rfall to your Applications folder
  3. Launch — no Gatekeeper prompt, installs and runs cleanly

Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later
