How it feels

That “wow” on every lid close — no subscription, no cloud. Set it once and make the fold yours.

Close the lid and instead of a hard black cut you get a fold that feels like iPhone Duo. Tune perspective, blur and shadows — soft and cinematic or sharp and graphic.

UI in English, Russian, German, Chinese and Japanese. Everything stays on your Mac — nothing is uploaded. Screen Recording permission is required so the utility can draw the effect on top of the display.

Apple Silicon MacBooks only. Install from .dmg, grant screen access, tweak once and enjoy every close.
