The app runs with a GPU dependency on Macs with multiple GPUs installed, like MacBook Pros. It should not need this.

hi @Wdavery could you please elaborate? Much of this code is quite old and in need of modernization.

Thanks for opening an issue!

I should've used standard macOS terminology, it "Requires high-performance GPU" in activity monitor.

I don't know the exact fix but I believe it's a very simple one line thing.
A lot of old apps have this problem, because it was only added to macOS in the last 5 versions or so.

I've found these two articles which I believe are the fixes.

https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/qa/qa1734/_index.html
"Adding the NSSupportsAutomaticGraphicsSwitching key in Info.plist."
I think this may be all that is needed.

This is probably unnecessary, but further reading:

Just fixed it for myself too, works great.
Two lines in the info.plist

<key>NSSupportsAutomaticGraphicsSwitching</key>
<string>True</string>
