FeatureUnlock

FeatureUnlock is a Lilu plugin that enables macOS features restricted to specific hardware, including Sidecar, NightShift, AirPlay to Mac, Universal Control, and Continuity Camera.

Overview

Apple restricts certain macOS features to specific Mac models, even though the underlying hardware on Hackintosh systems may fully support them. FeatureUnlock patches the system to enable these restricted features, including Sidecar (using an iPad as a second display), NightShift (blue light reduction), AirPlay to Mac, Universal Control, and Continuity Camera.

Features

• Sidecar: Enables using iPad as a second display
• NightShift: Enables blue light reduction for nighttime use
• AirPlay to Mac: Enables AirPlay receiver on macOS
• Universal Control: Enables using a single keyboard/mouse across Macs
• Continuity Camera: Enables using iPhone camera as a Mac webcam
• Lilu Integration: Built on the Lilu patching framework
