Tapify v1.2.7

Fixes accelerometer input on M4 MacBook Air systems where AppleSPUHIDDriver opens but does not begin streaming reports, including macOS Tahoe. Also corrects ownership handling for HID device properties.

Tapify v1.2.6

Attempts to seize the accelerometer device on M5 if non-exclusive open doesn't produce data.

Tapify v1.2.5 (M5 byte-dump)

Diagnostic: prints raw HID reports to stderr. Run via Terminal to see output.

Tapify v1.2.4 (M5 byte-dump)

Writes raw HID report dump to ~/Desktop/tapify_reports.hex for M5 offset analysis.

Tapify v1.2.3 (M5 byte-dump)

Diagnostic build: dumps first 30 raw accelerometer reports to /tmp/tapify_reports.hex so we can identify byte offsets on M5.

Tapify v1.2.2 (M5 diagnostic)

Diagnostic build — adds more logging to trace M5 accelerometer detection. If you're debugging an M5 issue, run this and stream logs via: log stream --predicate 'process == "Tapify"' --style compact

Tapify v1.2.1 (M5 diagnostic)

Diagnostic build for M5

This build adds detailed logging to figure out why M5 detection isn't working yet.

If you're on M5 and the waveform is flat:

1. Download and open this build
2. Open Console.app (in /Applications/Utilities)
3. In the search bar, type Tapify and press Enter
4. Open Tapify and go to the Tap Test tab
5. Copy and paste the [Tapify] log lines back to the issue

That output will tell us exactly which devices are being found and what their report sizes are.

Tapify v1.2.0

What's new

• M5 support — Tapify now works on MacBook Air M5 (and any future Apple Silicon). The M5 changed how its accelerometer is exposed via IOKit HID, causing the device to go undetected on earlier builds. This release fixes that.
