About
Blink1Control is a Mac app for the blink(1), a small USB RGB LED notification light. The site's getting-started guidance points Mac and Windows users to Blink1Control as the way to start using the light right away. Once connected, the blink(1) gives you glanceable notice of what's happening on your computer or on the internet, so you can stay informed without checking windows, visiting websites, or typing commands.
The website describes the broader blink(1) system rather than detailing Blink1Control's individual features. It notes that the light can be connected to cloud services through IFTTT, to email, to URLs, and to scripts, and that it supports command-line, C, and Python use as well as Linux kernel support. Headless and server users are directed to a separate command-line tool, blink1-tool, rather than the Mac app.
The website also states that all blink(1) software is open source and that the hardware is open source hardware, with the project's code available on GitHub. Purchase options include the company's online store and a list of domestic and international resellers.
