The latest version of gfxCardStatus still appears to have issues on Mojave (10.14.2) - this was the case for myself on a fresh MacOS install.

For anyone as desperate as myself, I can confirm Steve's patched fork flawlessly works! Download here. Thank you in 2019!

This one worked great on my MBP mid-2012 Running Mojave 10.14.16

Steve's version to work very well using Catalina 10.15.3, MacBook pro 2015, 15". Great work. And thanks for sharing the code.

On Mojave (10.14.6), clicking on "Integrated Only" in gfxCardStatus actually switched to "Discrete Only" and the Activity Monitor showed "Graphics Card: High Performance" even though no apps that "Requires High Perf. GPU" were open. The Activity Monitor was showing "Graphics Card: Integrated" before I clicked on the option.

I found a way to achieve what I wanted on Reddit:

pmset -a gpuswitch 0 # for Integrated Only
pmset -a gpuswitch 1 # for Discrete Only
pmset -a gpuswitch 2 # for Dynamic Switching

After running pmset -a gpuswitch 0, the Activity Monitor continued showing "Graphics Card: Integrated", even after I opened an app that "Requires High Perf. GPU" unnecessarily (Figma, in this case).

This might help fix this feature for recent versions of macOS.
