With the release of OpenCore Legacy Patcher 2.0.0, we're proud to announce macOS Sequoia support! And with it, 83 unsupported Mac models will be able to run Apple's latest operating system!
With macOS Sequoia, we spent many months working tirelessly to get these old machines running. And because of the sheer number of different hardware we support and the challenges of working on a closed-source operating system, not all features are currently available.
Main limitations with macOS Sequoia:
- Lack of support for recently dropped 2018 T2 MacBook Airs (MacBookAir8,x).
- Single CPU limitation on 2008 Mac Pro (MacPro3,1) and 2008 Xserve (Xserve2,1).
- Booting with more than 4 cores breaks Sequoia, OpenCore Legacy Patcher will automatically disable additional cores.
- When running an older OS, you can disable this limitation in Settings.
- Photos Application is non-functional for non-Metal-based graphics cards.
- Applicable for pre-2012 Macs (See table below).
- OpenCore-Patcher.pkg:
- Visual GUI-based app installer
- Recommended for all users
- OpenCore-Patcher-Uninstaller.pkg:
- Uninstalls OpenCore-Patcher.app and additional utilities
- Does not revert any patches installed
- OpenCore-Patcher-GUI.app:
- Legacy app, installs OpenCore-Patcher.pkg internally
- Direct app download is deprecated, and planned for remove in the future
- AutoPkg-Assets.pkg:
- Additional resources used by OpenCore-Patcher
- Automatically pulled when needed, don't download

1.2.1 is a bug fix release for OpenCore Legacy Patcher's Launch Agent failing to load after macOS updates. This update is not critical, however helps streamline the update flow for end users. For those upgrading prior to OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.2.0, see below:
With the release of OpenCore Legacy Patcher v1.2.0, some noteworthy improvements are dropping!
- Resolve 4k output rendering on 2017 4k iMacs.
- Applicable for iMac18,2.
- Resolve LLDB crashing on extracted frameworks and binaries.
- Better handling of T1 Security Chips.
- Applicable for TouchBar-based 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pros.
- If you find the TouchBar is non-functional in Sonoma, you may need to boot Ventura to reinstall the T1's firmware.
- New Launch Daemons for preparing the host for macOS updates.
- Cleaning potentially problematic kernel extensions.
- Fetching KDKs for incoming OS, reducing the need for network connection after updating.
And more fixes and improvements listed in the changelog below. Hope everyone enjoys the new release!
As to be expected, macOS Sonoma support is still in active development. This is a community-driven project, and as such we ask users to keep expectations in check and use older OSes if you encounter issues that affect you.
