GoldenHour Lighting 4+

This app is great for what it does. I have a 34 inch ultra wide diaplay that is great for lighting my face during zoom calls.

One question for the dev. Will you be updaing this app with native support for Apple Silicon? I'm going through the process of finding alterniatives for all non native apps, so I was disapointed to see this is an Intel app.

I was a little apprehensive about $5 for this at first, but really I was looking at some very expensive gadgets to get the same results. Calibrated temperature lights, LED strips, ring lights, you name it. But at the end of the day, I've got a 36" panel of pure light right in front of my face, and it only makes good sense to take advantage of it for this purpose.

My one complaint: I wish the app could detect when a camera activates/deactivates and could show/hide the color bars accordingly. Remembering to start it every time I join a Zoom is the one flaw. Looking at possible ways to work around this by combining something like Micro Switch with Alfred or Automator, but it would be nice if the app handled it natively.

$5 might seem like a lot for something so simple, but it's worth the money when compared to dedicated hardware that does the same. Would buy again.

I take Zoom video calls in artificial lighting and I can see how blue my face looks when I've a new tab open and lit by a white screen. Being sheltered-in-place doesn't help my naturally pale complexion. GoldenHour hasn't helped my tan, but at least I no longer look like nosferatu. Thank you GoldenHour!
