- OS: macOS 14.0+
- Permission: Touch Service requires Accessibility permission
- Hardware: Dasung Paperlike display connected via USB
- This project has currently been validated only on the following setup, and does not guarantee compatibility with all devices, OS versions, or scenarios:
- Display: Dasung PaperLike HD-FT M
- Computer: Mac mini M4
- Auto refresh interval is configurable, with a minimum of 3 seconds (
>= 3s). - If you change the interval while auto refresh is running, the new interval takes effect after the current refresh cycle finishes.
- If you want the new interval to apply immediately, trigger a manual refresh once.
- Enabling anti-dithering is recommended.
- It helps suppress temporary E-ink dithering, reduce flicker, and ease visual fatigue.
Touch Service depends on macOS Accessibility permission. If not granted yet, follow these steps:
- Click the "Touch Service" button in the main interface. The app will trigger the permission request.
- Go to "System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Accessibility", find PaperlikeMenu, and grant permission.
- Return to the app and click "Touch Service" again.
- If touch still does not work, remove PaperlikeMenu from the Accessibility list, turn off "Touch Service", and repeat steps 1-3.
