Make your MacBook Pro logo move to your music

Backglow's Music mode lights up the glowing logo on your MacBook Pro on the beat of whatever your Mac plays.

How it works

Play something on your Mac, in any app, and the logo lights up on the beat. An intensity slider sets how hard it hits, and you can turn on a strobe.

No microphone

Music listens to what your Mac plays, not the room. It stays on your Mac. Nothing is recorded or sent anywhere.

How to set it up

  1. Download Backglow and get Pro.
  2. Choose Music in Backglow's menu.
  3. Play something.

Questions

How much is Pro?

$9 at launch, later $15. Pay once, one license per Mac. Pro also includes Agents, which makes the logo a status light for Claude Code. There's a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Does it change my screen's brightness?

No. Backglow only changes the logo.

Which Macs does it work on?

Only the new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display, the one with the glowing logo.
