MacBook – 2015 MBP – how to force integrated graphics

gpumacbook prosettings

I have a specifically

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) MacBookPro11,5

(indeed "AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2048 MB Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB")

You can easily (when they finally fixed that) force it to discrete, just "disable switching" in control panels.

However I want to use integrated exclusively only.

Unfortunately, after extensive googling I could only find this issue discussed for the older '11, '12 models.

(Since this particular variant from 2015 is the single worst product ever made by Apple, I think everyone's just thrown it away, so you don't see much about it! :O )

Does anyone know how to force a 11,5 to use integrated only? Thanks.

gfxcardstatus is no longer maintained but I recreated it for modern macOS:
