Mar 28 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta40 will be released in 7 days.
It did take a long time to have the work finished on this and it will have a major performance boost of 30-50% over 2.0.0-beta39 from calibration to integration. We extensively optimized many critical parts of APP. All has been tested to guarantee correct optimizations. Drizzle and image resampling is much faster for instance, those modules have been completely rewritten. Much less memory usage. LNC 2.0 will be released which works much better and faster than LNC in it's current state. And more, all will be added to the release notes in the coming weeks...
Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.
As a newbe to Astro Pixel Pro I installed Mac version 1.083.2 and everything was woking fine. Spent the day yesterday working through various tutorials to get up to speed. However last night my Mac updated to Mac OS Ventura 13.0, and now Astro Pixel Pro won't load. Has anyone else had this issue and is there a workaround please? Any thoughts.Â
Hi,
make sure you use the 2.0 beta. I am using APP beta on an M1 MacBook Pro and it is screamingly fast running native on the M1 chip!
Cheers,

Might be something going on if you have the console window in a separate window + using stage manager. That seems to clash somehow.
@agbell005 Hi Tony,
As Ecki writes, use APP 2.0.0-beta6 please. The download link can be found at the top of any forum page. For me it runs fine on macOS Ventura, even with Stage Manager enabled.
HTH, Wouter
I have the same problem, it does work with macOs ventura, but I followed as written here the admin, I installed the 2.0 beta6 for macOs arm64 M1 and now it works perfectly, much better graphically than the previous version !! Thanks for the update.
Hi all,
We think that we might have a fixed Astro Pixel Processor version for macOS Ventura. Can you all try the following 2.0.0-beta7test version and let us know if this solves it and works properly?

new M1/M2/arm hardware:

Looking forward to your feedback!
