Hi Product Hunt, I’m Luke, a solo developer who got tired of needing several apps for what I’d call basic power-user controls. Rein puts the controls macOS hides on one menu-bar panel, instead of five or six single-purpose apps: keep-awake with the lid closed, fan curves, per-app volume and EQ, one brightness slider up to XDR, and casting to Chromecast and AirPlay. It also comes with a free iPhone app, Rein Remote: see and control your Mac’s screen from your phone, from anywhere, like LogMeIn or TeamViewer but without the subscription. And it’s fail-safe: quit Rein, or if it ever crashes, and your Mac goes straight back to its normal settings. No data shared and no analytics. Made for Apple Silicon, macOS 14 or later. £22 once, after a 7-day trial with no card needed. I’d love to hear what else you’d want it to do. I’ll be expanding the feature set soon.
