LogoSwitch
The glow is back. Now it's yours.
The illuminated logo has returned to the lid of the MacBook Pro. LogoSwitch puts it in your menu bar: on, off, dimmer, brighter. And we taught the glow a few new tricks.
Download for Mac. It's free.One click. Lid lit, lid dark, or anywhere between.
A lightbulb in the menu bar switches the glowing logo on the back of your MacBook Pro, instantly. Slide it dimmer for a dark room, or brighter for the coffee shop. No Terminal, no commands to remember.
Right next to Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth.
Add two LogoSwitch controls to Control Center. Apple Logo Light is a switch that works even when LogoSwitch isn't running. Logo Brightness steps the glow through 100%, 60%, 30% and Dim with each click. Click Edit Controls, find LogoSwitch, and drag them in.
Remember the sleep light? It's back.
For years, a sleeping Mac breathed: a little white light that slowly brightened and dimmed. Lock your screen while you're plugged in, and the logo on your lid breathes the same way, rising slowly and resting dim.
Your lid is a studio sign.
When your camera or microphone turns on, the logo spells ON AIR in Morse code, so the people behind your screen know you're on a call. Prefer it dark the rest of the time? LogoSwitch can keep the logo off and light it only while you're on air.
Say it with your lid.
Type a message, and the logo blinks it out in Morse code, letter by letter, while the window shows the dots and dashes as they go. Say hi across the room. Leave a note for the next person in the café. Nobody needs to know what it says.
Just ask.
Everything has a Siri phrase, a Spotlight action and a Shortcuts action. Dim the logo at sunset, light On Air when a meeting starts, or send a message from an automation.

Remember the stripes? So does LogoSwitch.
Green, yellow, orange, red, purple, blue. There's a little something hidden inside for anyone who misses them. We'll let you find it.
Glowing apple wakes
one machine holds all my days
I build, dream, and play
