turnintoserver is a macOS menu bar utility that keeps a closed-lid MacBook running as a local server, dimming the built-in display to zero brightness instead of leaving it lit under the lid. It supports SSH, remote desktop, and local network services staying active, plus scheduled auto-shutoff and low-battery notifications. It's aimed at macOS users who want to temporarily or permanently repurpose a MacBook as a small server.
