Use Griffin Powermate on modern macOS
with AXIØMate
PRE-RELEASE
Griffin Powermate for Mac
is back! The old Griffin app runs inconsistently on macOS El Capitan 10.11 or later, and always had odd issues like needing to be uninstalled before installing upgrades 🤨
AXIØMate is a one-click install from the Mac App Store®, runs every time your Mac® starts, lives out of the way in the Menu Bar.
I used the old open-source hack solutions for years but I always found they would stop working randomly or with macOS upgrades.
AXIØMate is a low-cost, one-time paid app and will get upgrades for modern macOS into the future!

Griffin Powermate Bluetooth
My personal favourite 🥰 after installation, AXIØMate will quickly connect while it is running in the Menu Bar.
Once AXIØMate is installed, open it from the Menu Bar and install the DriverKit System Extension. You then get access to the same features as the Bluetooth version.
You can also bypass AXIØMate’s settings temporarily if troubleshooting.
Griffin Powermate USB Driver
This is an unofficial app and driver for the Powermate from Griffin Technology Inc. given they are defunct and the Powermate line of controller knobs discontinued.
