Is it safe for my Mac?

The app never drives the logo beyond the maximum brightness calibrated for your Mac at the factory, and it needs no administrator rights.

Does it use more battery?

The logo light uses a small amount of power. The app turns it off when your Mac sleeps.

Does it collect any data?

No. The only network request it makes is the check for updates.

Is this an Apple product?

No. Glow My Logo is an independent app. It relies on system behavior that Apple does not document, so a macOS update may break it until the app is updated.

Quit the app and move it to the Trash. Quitting hands the logo back to macOS.

What it does

Glow My Logo is a menu bar app for the 2026 MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR display. Normally the logo on the lid follows the screen brightness and goes dark when the lid is closed. Glow My Logo keeps it lit at a brightness you set, including in clamshell mode.

Your brightness, fixed

Set the logo brightness yourself. It stays there however bright or dim the screen is.

Glows with the lid closed

Keeps the logo lit in clamshell mode while an external display is connected.

Gentle on the eyes

The logo fades in and out smoothly, and turns off when your Mac goes to sleep.

Stays out of the way

Lives in the menu bar, opens at login and keeps itself up to date.
