A new app called Backglow lets users control the illuminated Apple logo on MacBook Pro models without using Terminal. The developer delivered on a weekend promise, releasing an app that allows you to set how bright it glows, turn it off, or give it a mode: Steady, Breathe, Battery, Music or Agents.
The utility offers a free demo with a $9 "Pro" one-time purchase for full access. This lightweight tool fills a niche for users who want quick, graphical control over the logo's behavior — previously only possible via command line.
As an "Apple Bite" sized update, the news highlights how quickly third-party developers can address macOS customization gaps. Backglow is available now at backglow.app.
