What's new in 1.1

  • Five languages: English, German, French, Spanish and Italian – the app follows the system language.
  • Turn ambient light back on: new option "Turn back on after" (5 min – 8 h) under "Adjust to ambient light". After the chosen time without a manual change, the app turns the macOS automatic keyboard brightness back on.
  • Simpler settings: no more Close, Swap or "capture keys" switch – the keys are always active while the app runs.
  • Clicking outside closes the settings, also after opening the app manually with the menu bar icon hidden.

Installation

  1. Download KeyboardBacklight.zip, unzip it and move the app to your Applications folder.
  2. Open the app. It isn't notarized by Apple, so macOS blocks the first launch: close the message, then click Open Anyway in System Settings › Privacy & Security.
  3. Allow Accessibility access – without it the keys can't be captured.

Requirements: macOS 14 or later, a Mac with a keyboard backlight. Built for Apple silicon and Intel.
