Is Liquid Radius safe to install?

Liquid Radius makes no permanent changes to your Mac. Every change can be reverted with a single toggle, and a firmware-level fail-safe in Recovery Mode disables every injection path before macOS boots. The full security trade-offs are explained on the Support page.

Why does it need SIP disabled?

macOS Tahoe protects core system processes from third-party code. Liquid Radius works by injecting into the system process responsible for window rendering, which requires SIP and AMFI relaxed at runtime. On Apple Silicon, FileVault must also be off during the initial install so the boot-policy commands can run; you can re-enable FileVault afterwards.

Does it impact performance or battery life?

No. The Liquid Radius runtime loads once when an app launches, applies the corner radius, and then remains dormant. There is no ongoing CPU activity, no background daemon, and no measurable impact on battery life.

What happens when Apple updates macOS?

Future macOS versions may require updates to Liquid Radius to remain compatible. Every update is included in your one-time purchase and arrives automatically.

Yes. Every license comes with a 14-day refund through our payment processor. Email hello@liquidradius.com with your order number and we'll take care of it. Once refunded, your license is deactivated and Liquid Radius reverts to its unlicensed state on the next launch, so you can't keep using it after a refund.

Can I use my license on multiple Macs?

Each Liquid Radius license activates one Mac. To use Liquid Radius on additional Macs, please purchase a separate license per machine.

How do I uninstall it?

Open Liquid Radius and click Uninstall on the Info page. After a reboot, every file Liquid Radius added is removed and your Mac is fully back to default.

The mismatch

Once you see it,
you can't unsee it.

macOS Tahoe ships with four different corner radii across Apple's own apps alone. Third-party apps each pick their own. The result is a desktop where no two windows quite match.

Choosing a corner-radius preset in the Liquid Radius General settings

New

Set your own
corner radius.

Choose from five presets spanning every macOS era, from Tahoe's generous curves back to NeXTSTEP's square corners. Every window on your Mac follows your pick, and you can change it whenever you like.

New

Consistent to the
last corner.

Liquid Radius doesn't stop at the outside edge. Sidebars and inner panels pick up a smaller, matching curve that follows the one you choose, so the inside of every window stays in proportion with the outside.

The Liquid Radius Advanced settings, with the concentric inner corners option for sidebars

Excluding specific apps in the Liquid Radius Exclude Apps pane

New

Leave any app
untouched.

Liquid Radius is on across every app by default, with a one-click opt-out for any you'd rather keep exactly as they are. Add or remove excluded apps any time.

There's beauty
in the details.

Default. Apple's own TextEdit, out of the box. Tight corners, short title bar, traffic lights tucked against the edge.

Liquid radius. Corner radius bumped to match Apple's flagship apps. Now consistent across all of macOS.

Indented traffic lights. Close, minimize, and zoom buttons pushed in slightly so they align with Apple's flagship apps.

Taller title bar. Now sized like Apple's flagship apps. Even space above the traffic lights and to their left.

Centered title bar. Title and toolbar items pulled into the center. The complete Liquid Radius look.

Indented traffic lights, taller title bar and centered title bar can be toggled independently. Support for these advanced tweaks varies by app.

Reliable & reversible

Persistent through reboots.
Reverts in seconds.

Always on.

After every login. After every reboot. After every session restore.

Fully reversible.

Toggle off and every window snaps back to default.

Fail-safe.

A single nvram command in Recovery Mode disables every injection path.
