Ember is a small open-source macOS menu bar app that controls the MagSafe 3 charging LED on Apple Silicon MacBooks, letting you turn it off at night or during Focus modes, schedule lights-out hours, snooze it, or keep it on when the battery is low. It installs a tiny signed helper that writes a single SMC key, and restores normal light behavior on exit.
Why now: It was just shared on Hacker News as a 'Show HN' post demoing a novel tweak — controlling a hardware light Apple doesn't expose — so interest comes from the fresh launch and its clever approach.
Who it is for: Apple Silicon MacBook owners with MagSafe 3 who are annoyed by the glowing charge light in dark rooms.
