Flight Mode for Mac

Having pulled out my laptop, whilst sat on a flight to NY, it occurred to me that there should be a flight mode for laptops (if this doesn’t already exist?!).

It’s simple…

• Turn off wifi
• Turn off Bluetooth
• Save battery

The save battery one is where some customisation may come in:

• Kill non-essential running software.
  e.g software that depends on an Internet connection. Examples on my machine include: Buffer for Mac, Google Drive, Shazam. Ask to Save before closing!

• Reduce brightness.
  Brightness level to be determined in Preferences by user.

Form

• Menu Bar App activated by a single click.

Bonus

• Remember pre-flight mode status.

Restore whatever software the user was running and what settings they had prior to switching to flight-mode.
