I wanted my Mac's lock screen message to update itself. After searching for a built-in setting or app and finding nothing, I built my own. Three modes: one that mirrors the existing functionality without making you hunt through settings, one that shifts by time of day, and one that cycles through quotes or messages you want to see. I wanted it to be the kind of thing you set up and stop thinking about. Much like an actual porchlight - it's just there. Something small that makes your Mac feel a little more like yours.

Porchlight — Your Mac lock screen message probably still says "If found, return to..."

Quick question: what does your Mac lock screen say right now?

Mine said, "If found, return to Ben" for about two years. I set it once after watching a YouTube video about Mac tips, completely forgot about it, and found it again while wiping my machine. That little field - which macOS has had forever - deserved better. So I built Porchlight.
