RIGHT THERE WHEN YOU NEED IT
One little icon.
Your whole glow.
After opening LidGlow, look for the small laptop icon at the top-right of your screen, near the clock. Click it for on/off, brightness, and your favorite glow.
See the step-by-step setup guide →Your Mac. Your light.
More than a light switch
A glow that goes with you.
From your favorite track to your next idea, give the light a reason to move.
02 / YOUR WORKFLOW
Know when Codex needs you.
A soft glow while idle. A pulse while working. Two blinks when approval is needed, and three when work finishes. Connect supported local Codex sessions once in Settings.
03 / YOUR ROUTINE
Set it. Let it glow.
Dim at night, pulse during focus time, or turn the logo off for a particular app. Create rules for a daily time range or the app you’re using. Manual changes take priority for an hour.
04 / YOUR LIGHT
Find your perfect pulse.
Keep a steady glow or choose a breathing cycle from 2 to 16 seconds. Adjust the brightness, or switch it off. Your preferences are remembered.
Your glow. Your choice.
Free forever. Pro when you want more.
Free and Pro use the same LidGlow download. Install once, then enter your Pro activation code in Settings → License & Pro to unlock the extra features. No separate Pro download or reinstall needed.

Music mode requires permission to capture system audio. Codex mode uses local hooks you review and trust; cloud-only jobs aren’t supported.
