Version History 5.3.2 (9416)

=== Introducing Power Protect ===

In Amphetamine 5.3, a Closed-Display Mode script was introduced to address an issue on Apple Silicon Macs where connecting or disconnecting your Mac laptop from an external power source could cause unexpected session behavior. Running this script required use of Touch ID or an administrator's password.

Thanks to members of the Amphetamine community (Pitor and Joe), a way to run the script without authentication has been identified and implemented in Amphetamine 5.3.1. To run the script without authentication, you must download and install both the script and a configuration file. This feature is now known as Power Protect and is only needed/available on Apple Silicon Mac laptops.

Please note that Power Protect is not included directly in Amphetamine and requires a separate download and installation. When you start a Closed-Display Mode session on an Apple Silicon Mac, Amphetamine will ask you if you would like to Learn More about Power Protect. If you choose Learn More, you will be directed to a website where you can read about Power Protect and choose to install it, if desired.
