ScreenFold — Dim and mute with your lid
OtherTilt your MacBook lid to mute, dim and pause screen content
About
ScreenFold is a macOS menu bar app that turns your MacBook's lid into a gesture. Tilt the screen past a threshold and it automatically: - Mutes system audio - Pauses media playback - Dims or blurs the display Tilt back and everything restores instantly. Built on an undocumented lid angle sensor in newer MacBooks (all 14" and 16" MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air M2 or later). Uses a state machine with hysteresis so it doesn't flap near the threshold. Works with external monitors too.
