Blync is White when powered off and its colour changes to match your presence/status:

Green – when available
Yellow – when away from your desk
Red – when busy or on the phone
Purple – when you are not to be disturbed

Blync can be configured to display any color you choose for your different presence/status states.

 
Is there a Mac version?

Yes - for Microsoft Lync. If you are running Lync Server 2013 (on-premise) the Blynclight will automatically synchronize with your Lync status.

However, if you are using Lync Online (Office 365) or Lync Server 2010 the Blynclight will not automatically synchronize with your Lync status - it must controlled manually.

Why does my Blynclight keep flashing once I've answered/ended a call on my Cisco desk phone?

The Cisco Jabber for Windows soft phone and Cisco desk phone are not tightly coupled. Since the Blynclight integrates with the Cisco Jabber for Windows soft phone client and not the Cisco desk phone, events such as answering/ending a call from the Cisco desk phone is not being captured by the soft phone client and therefore not alerting the Blynclight that it should start/stop flashing when answering/ending a phone call.
At this stage, incoming call and on call alerts are not supported for the Cisco desk phone.
