Hackintool helps you inspect and configure a Hackintosh: patch Intel framebuffers, map USB ports, fix displays and audio, check your bootloader and kexts, and much more, all in one native macOS app.

## What's new in 5.0

- **Rewritten in Swift** with a new native interface: a sidebar, a toolbar with search, and dark mode throughout.
- **Universal app**, running natively on Intel and Apple Silicon (macOS 12 or later).
- **USB mapping brought up to date** with [USBMap](https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap), including macOS 26 (Tahoe) port properties, the 15-port limit and controller renames.
- **Windows Bluetooth export rewritten** for macOS 12 and later, including Bluetooth LE keys.
- **macOS 26 Tahoe and 27 Golden Gate** support, with refreshed PCI/USB IDs, Mac model data, AppleALC codec lists and macserial.
- Many long-standing bugs fixed in framebuffer patching, EDID fixes and more.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Updating from 4.x?** Version 5.0 is signed with a new key, so 4.x can't update to it automatically. Download it once [from the releases page](https://github.com/benbaker76/Hackintool/releases/latest); after that, updates arrive automatically again. Your settings carry over.
