Halo is live on Product Hunt today.

A Dynamic Island for the Mac: now playing, timers, a file shelf, clipboard history, and real brightness control for external monitors. With or without a notch.

Made in Tashkent. I'd love your feedback:

I kept alt-tabbing to my terminal every 30 seconds to check if Claude was done.

So I made my MacBook's notch do it.

Halo 1.5 is out. Also in Liquid Glass, because macOS 26 made everything else look old.

Quick way to know if Halo can control your monitor:

Look in the monitor's own on-screen menu for a DDC/CI setting and make sure it's on. Some ship with it off.

Most monitors work over USB-C, DisplayPort or HDMI. This part needs an Apple silicon Mac.
