Continuity Activation Tool

Continuity Activation Tool is an open-source, Terminal-based utility that's designed to make activating Continuity features super easy on your Mac. This includes cool stuff like Application Handoff, Airdrop, and Instant Hotspot. If you have a Mac that can run macOS Sierra, then you're in luck because this tool helps unlock some of the best features Apple has added.

How Does It Work?

This handy tool works by modifying and moving kernel extensions around in your operating system. Before you dive in, it's really smart to back up your system. This way, if anything goes sideways while enabling Continuity, you're covered.

Backups Are Key!

Even though the Continuity Activation Tool automatically backs up the System kernel extensions it changes, it's a good idea to do your own backup too. Why? Because it also makes other changes that aren’t included in its built-in backup system.

Check Compatibility First

The tool also has a nifty feature where you can check if your Mac is compatible with the OS Continuity features before trying to enable them. Just use its System Diagnostic tool—a simple script that checks whether your hardware meets all the necessary requirements.

Know Your Mac Models

The developer even shared a list of compatible Mac models. This way, you can see if you need any upgrades for things like Instant Hotspot or Airdrop using the Continuity Activation Tool.

Bluetooth Dongles and Compatibility

If your Mac doesn't have the right Bluetooth hardware built-in, you might think about getting a Bluetooth 4.0 dongle online. However, be careful! The Continuity Activation Tool won't work with those dongles because it only supports Apple's wireless cards.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

It's super important to know that using this app could potentially harm your system. Make sure you have a bootable backup ready just in case something goes wrong with your Mac afterwards!
