Meso 0.1.47

New

  • Siri Remote: use an Apple TV remote with your Mac (all three generations). Each button can do one thing when pressed, another when pressed twice and another when held, for every app or just one. Meso pairs the remote itself: hold its two pairing buttons near the Mac, with nothing to click in Bluetooth settings.
  • The remote’s touch surface moves the pointer and scrolls with two fingers; taps and swipes run actions. On the newer remotes, circling a finger around the clickpad’s edge scrolls, sets the volume or zooms. Hold the Siri button to talk to voice input apps that listen while fn is held.
  • Game controllers: Xbox, DualSense, DualShock 4, Switch Pro and Joy-Con pads get a page with a live button test and their battery. Map their buttons and sticks to actions; Meso stands aside while a game is in front.
  • Mouse buttons can do something else when pressed twice or held, and one button can switch the others to a second layer of actions while it’s held.
  • New actions for every device: open a link, type text, run a shell command, and for presenting a laser pointer, a spotlight and find-the-pointer.
  • Clean Mode holds back every key, click and touch for a minute, so you can wipe the keyboard and trackpad.
  • Usage Stats prints any day, week, month or year as a receipt out of the notch, in three layouts, to copy or save.
  • USB drives appear under Devices with a page of their own and a full-window Speed Test.
  • Thunderbolt ports show the link speed that was actually negotiated, and the cable page lists what the cable’s chip reports.
  • A notification when a charging device is full; low-battery notifications come at 20 % and 5 % for every device.
  • Settings history: Meso keeps a copy of your settings as you change them, and Settings › Data can restore any of them.
  • Settings › Updates has an update channel: Stable or Beta.
  • Meso runs on macOS 14 Sonoma.

Improved

  • A Studio Display on Thunderbolt reads as running at its best instead of blaming the cable, and Thunderbolt ports are called “Thunderbolt 1”, “Thunderbolt 2”….
  • A charger that keeps the cable to itself no longer makes the cable look unmarked.
  • A display’s own USB side shows as part of the display, receivers get their icon, and an empty hub says so.
  • The sidebar scrolls in a short window, with Meso kept at the bottom.

Requires macOS 14 or later. Ports, cables and displays need a Mac with Apple silicon.
