Support for macOS 15 – Sequoia

We are pleased to announce support for macOS 15, aka Sequoia, with the launch of Power Manager 5.10.2.

We continue to recommend waiting for the first minor update to any major macOS release. For macOS 15, the first minor update from Apple should be macOS 15.1.

Power Manager requires macOS 10.14 or later.

We aim to support the three most recent major versions of macOS; Power Manager currently supports seven. For those running older versions of macOS, as far back as Mac OS X 10.4, we offer legacy licences and downloads.

Updating Power Manager

Power Manager will automatically check for updates every so often, so there is nothing to do. The update will automatically be offered to you during the next few weeks.

If you want to update to the latest Power Manager now, use the Check for Updates menu item in the Power Manager menu. In case of problems, please follow the manual update steps.
