Continuity Activation Tool For Mac

Continuity Activation Tool is an open source and Terminal based utility designed from the ground up to make it as easy as possible to activate Continuity and its features Application Handoff, Airdrop and Instant Hotspot, on any Mac computer with hardware compatible with probably the best feature added by Apple in their latest version of operating system, macOS Sierra.

The Continuity Activation Tool application works by overwriting, modifying and moving a number of kernel extensions around in your OS, so it is a very good idea to firs make a backup of your system before proceeding in enabling Continuity with its help.

Although Continuity Activation Tool will first back up all the System kernel extensions it modifies and overwrites in order to enable Continuity for you, it still is a very good idea to backup your Mac on your own because the tool will also make a number of other changes bot covered by its built-in backup system.

Moreover, Continuity Activation Tool can also be used to first check if your Mac is compatible with OS Continuity feature, before actually attempting to enable it. This can be done using its System Diagnostic tool, a simple script that checks if you have all the hardware per-requisites needed to enable it on your computer.

The developer has also published a list of Continuity compatible Mac models on which his too can be used (with or without the need for a hardware upgrade), therefore you should be covered if you want to enable Instant Hotspot, Application Handoff, or Airdrop using Continuity Activation Tool app on your Mac.

It is important to mention that, although you can buy a Bluetooth 4.0 dongle from the web in order to meet the Continuity requirements for your Mac if the needed hardware isn't already built-in, Continuity Activation Tool will not work with them because it only supports the wireless cards Apple uses in its systems.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

It is VERY IMPORTANT to know before jumping in and launching the Continuity Activation Tool that this app can cause damage to your system and you should make sure that you have a bootable backup at hand, just in case your Mac will not come alive afterwards.
