• macOS 10.14 Mojave compatibility fix by @albinoz

How to use

1. Download the latest stable script from the Releases section
2. Disable SIP*
3. Execute NightShiftPatcher.sh script
4. Don't forget to reenable SIP. This is not required, but recommended for system security ;)

In case of error

• If the system does not boot, restart in single-user mode or with the recovery partition

• You can restore the backup using the NightShiftPatcher script since 1.0 version with the -r option:

  ./NightShiftPatcher.sh -r
  

• The backup file can be found here:

  /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreBrightness.framework.bak
  

• If you used an old NightShiftPatcher script (before September 2018), first remove those files from the backup:

  sudo -s; f='/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreBrightness.framework.bak/Versions/Current/CoreBrightness'; rm "${f}.temp"; rm "${f}.tbd"; exit;
  

• To restore the backup with the terminal, you can use this terminal line:

  sudo -s; f='/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreBrightness.framework'; mv "${f}" "${f}.hack"; mv "${f}.bak" "${f}"; exit;
