Here is my first macOS app, built to automate actions I often do when watching videos on my Macbook... turning off Night Shift and keyboard backlight. It automatically turns them on/off when your selected app goes or leaves fullscreen. Any app can be configured to do that, not just movie apps. Let me know what you think!
@ftruzzi Cheers to the team for launching this! Wishing you an extraordinary journey ahead. What’s the story behind the product's name?

@ftruzzi @kjosephabraham I like the product's name too. It's lovely. So is the product's logo. Good luck with Curtains!

Thanks @kjosephabraham and @kiyaaa_! The name is meant to reference the preparatory steps that you do before watching a movie, which for me is closing the curtains :)

Hey there! I've just come across Curtains and gave it a whirl. Gotta say, it’s just what I was looking for! As a frequent movie buff and notorious night owl, who also is an ardent user of macOS, I find the automatic disabling of Night Shift and keyboard backlight truly helpful. No more glaring lights or eye-strains ruining my movie experience. The return-to-normal feature when you're done is such a simple but thoughtful touch. It's like your computer cares about you, right? Yes, I'm talking a little "Her" territory here, but don't worry, the chances of Scarlett Johansson falling in love with you via this app are, unfortunately, pretty slim. All in all, a neat and handy tool. Kudos to the team behind it! Looking forward to future updates! Cheers!

Perfect for late-night movie marathons. Well done, Francesco!

Curtains sounds like a thoughtful app for movie enthusiasts. Questions: - How does it detect fullscreen mode across different types of apps? - Does it work with streaming services as well as local media players? Congrats on your launch, Francesco!

@kyrylosilin thanks for your questions! 1. It works by detecting the "native fullscreen mode" of macOS, where the app goes fullscreen in a separate space. Some apps such as VLC don't do this by default, but they can usually be configured in the settings for that. 2. It should work with any app. You can also enable it on browsers if you use streaming services there, together with the "only when playing video" option so it doesn't bother you while normally browsing.
