About:
Blink1Control is the official GUI application for managing blink(1) USB RGB LED devices. It enables users to configure complex notification patterns, monitor system events, and trigger visual alerts. The tool acts as a bridge between software notifications and the physical hardware for customizable status signaling.

Key Features:

Visual notification patterns for emails, alerts, and system events
IFTTT integration for cloud-based automation triggers
Scriptable interface for custom event handling
Cross-platform compatibility (macOS, Windows, Linux)

Use Cases:

Server monitoring with color-coded status alerts
Email or calendar notification visual indicators
CI/CD pipeline build status signaling
Privacy-preserving notification system

Alternatives:

Hue – Philips Hue bridge for smart lighting, requires WiFi network instead of direct USB
TouchBar – Native macOS Touch Bar for system notifications, limited to specific hardware
