Will it work on your Mac?
Try the app on your own Mac before purchasing. Hardware support is determined by the lid angle sensor, not just the chip name.
Currently verified hardware
| Configuration | Scope |
|---|---|
| MacBook Pro · M2 Pro · Mac14,9 | Lid sensor, built-in display and system volume |
| macOS 26.6.2 | Current development test system |
| 3024 × 1964 built-in display | Renderer and generated fixture tests |
Requirements
- Apple silicon MacBook with an accessible lid angle sensor.
- macOS 14 or later is the build minimum. Older supported OS versions have not all been tested.
- Screen Recording permission for the live desktop effect. The sample preview works without it.
- An output device with software volume support for optional audio control.
Known limits
External displays, Intel Macs, protected video, login and lock screens are outside the current supported scope. The visual effect is not a privacy or screen-sharing filter.
Spaces transitions, physical sleep/wake and different Mac models still need broader real-world testing. The effect assumes a viewing position; it cannot hold the image in exact physical space for every observer.
Installing the early-access build
The current build is ad-hoc signed and not notarized by Apple. Follow the installation guide before testing. macOS may require manual approval at first launch and after updates.
A quick first check
- Open the app and confirm that a changing lid angle is shown.
- Set your comfortable open position as the reference angle.
- Grant Screen Recording, then lower the lid slowly. Stop and reverse at several angles.
- Try your own desktops, full-screen apps and audio output before buying.
