LSwitch for LIFX — menu bar lighting control

LSwitch for LIFX is a lightweight menu-bar app that locates LIFX bulbs on your local network and gives you quick access to basic controls. After discovering devices, the app presents options for changing brightness, switching power, and altering the light colour of individual bulbs.

Primary functions

• Change the colour output of a selected bulb.
• Adjust brightness levels (dim or brighten lights).
• Switch a bulb or multiple bulbs on and off.

Extra conveniences

• Create keyboard shortcuts to toggle specific bulbs or all connected lights instantly.
• One‑click commands to power every detected LIFX lamp simultaneously.

Known limitations

• Detection can be inconsistent; some lights may not always appear on the network.
• There’s no support for grouping bulbs or saving group presets as favourites.
• The user interface is minimal and offers little in-app guidance.
• Development updates are infrequent, which contributes to occasional instability.
