Indie App Spotlight welcomes Pumpkin Lights, a delightful Mac menu bar app that adds a jack-o-lantern to your screen. This free, fun application toggles between light and dark mode with a ray-traced pumpkin hanging from the top of your screen, providing a unique and enjoyable way to switch modes. Similar to the Festivas menu bar app, Pumpkin Lights brings a Halloween touch to your Mac.
Users can customize the pumpkin's design, pick from four color variants, and engage with the pumpkin by tossing it or manipulating the hanging cord. Additional features include opening apps/websites, keeping the Mac awake, muting sounds, running commands, or shortcuts. The pumpkin's physics are accurate, allowing for a novel experience as you interact with it.
Pumpkin Lights aims to make the day-to-day task of switching between modes feel more engaging and tactile, as the developer wanted the app to feel as if you're touching a real object. Available for Macs running macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Pumpkin Lights can be downloaded from the developer's website.
