Your Mac's battery, charger, dock, and every port — checked against what they promised, explained in plain English, wrapped in light.
Live recreations of the actual interface — this is what Glow looks like.
If the battery runs hot mid-charge, Glow pauses charging until it cools — and when macOS holds your charge on purpose, Glow explains why instead of fighting it.
Actual wall power in, system draw, and battery flow — with animated direction, so you always know which way the energy is moving.
Chargers benchmarked against their rating, Ethernet that fell from 2.5G to 1G, displays stuck below their max refresh, USB on a slow link — flagged.
Sit down, plug in, one look: power ✓ network ✓ display ✓ USB ✓ — or exactly which cable is letting you down.
"macOS is deliberately holding your charge to slow battery aging" beats a mystery. Every state explains itself and offers the next step.
Desktop widgets in three sizes, AirPods and Magic accessory batteries, per-app energy, and a dashboard with history for everything.
Fully private. No account, no analytics, no network calls — ever. Everything Glow knows stays on your Mac.
Free forever. No license keys, no trials, no upsells. If Glow earns a place in your menu bar, tell a friend — that keeps it glowing. ♥
Requires an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later) on macOS 14+ — Intel Macs are not supported. Optional superpowers (heat-protected charging, power modes, per-app energy) use a small helper you approve once in System Settings — removable anytime.
