This App Can Customize The PROLED MacBook Pro’s Glowing Apple Logo

Apple’s new PROLED MacBook Pro is the first to have a glowing Apple logo in quite some time, but unlike the previous models, this one isn’t linked to the brightness of the display.

That means that it can be independently controlled, and a new app has been released that allows users to customize how it behaves.

Dubbed Backglow, the app was created by designer Juan Buis and the free version allows users to adjust the brightness of the Apple logo. It can also be turned off completely, while another option has the Apple logo pulse gently.

For those willing to pay the $9 fee (which will increase to $15 later), the same app also adds two new modes. One will sync the logo’s light to the music that is playing, while another will pulse the same light when Claude Clode requires a response from the user. This is called “Agent Mode,” the designer explains.

The new MacBook Pro with PROLED Display is on sale now in both 14-inch and 16-inch sizes.

They both have the same M5 Pro and M5 Max chips of the standard MacBook Pros, but feature new, lighter constructions and a Dynamic Island to replace the notch found on standard MacBook Pro models.
