So if I tell it to do -D1 it uses the CPU. How do I tell it to use the metal CPU, which is also ID 1?

there is no metal CPU but GPU

you can use opencl for both, CPU and GPU according to your data or GPU only with metal

wanna use opencl and metal u should use the options -D1 -d1,2 or -D1,2 -d1,2 not quite sure, because -D is for opencl only, but on older version the littele -d option dont worked without -D, so you could als try first just -d1,2 and see if that works

-D is for opencl CPU/GPU
-d is for the backend devices (these are the uniq ids)

1 metal GPU
2 opencl CPU
3 opencl GPU

start hashcat with option 

-D1,2 -d1,2
instead of only -D1
