5 indie Mac apps I came across this week:
1. Glowless: keeps the MagSafe charging light off, even through reboots
2. Edith: 41 small utilities in one native 7.3 MB app, free and open source
3. FolderServe: drop a folder in, get a localhost URL with live reload
4. Dosirak: a personal database in the spirit of Bento, with an MCP server for your agent
5. Clean Development: moves Claude Code and Codex caches and build output to a drive you pick
@not_sacke@KyrelleBuckley Yes, it stays dark through sleep and wake. The one case it can't cover is plugging in with the Mac fully shut down: nothing is running then, so the LED lights up until you boot.
@Thealfredalv Haha yeah, pretty much!
Saw that firmware thing and started poking around. Turns out the cable doesn't control anything, the Mac does.
macOS keeps turning the light back on, so the app just keeps turning it off lol
Lights off. Mac asleep. Except that one green dot on the nightstand.
Built Glowless: turns off the MagSafe light and keeps it off through replugs and reboots. Menu bar app, open source.

@JhonatasBispoo@resend Always a pleasure, my friend!
The one that stuck with me: @aarondfrancis's vertical ambition.
15 shallow products and nobody cares.
Keep digging into one customer pain until it’s the most painful thing you could solve. Horizontal comes as a consequence.
