Your desktop bends as you close the lid.

The fluid fold from iPhone Duo, for the lid you already have. Your desktop tilts, blurs and settles as it comes down.

Scroll. The screen bends, blurs and shades, just like when your lid comes down.
The real thing. Filmed on a MacBook Pro, no cuts.
Bendy's Appearance settings: a live MacBook preview, a lid angle slider, Silk, Shade and Frost styles, and perspective, blur and shadow controls.
Three styles. Perspective, blur and shadow on sliders. Follow the lid, or drag the angle yourself.

How it works

Lid sensor
Reads the hinge angle from the Mac's own sensor. No polling, no accessibility hacks.
Live desktop
Captures the screen and renders the tilt with Metal, so windows and wallpaper move together.
Three styles
Silk, Shade and Frost. Tune perspective, blur and shadow, or set the angle where it clears.
Sound
A soft click when the lid opens and the desktop clears. New in 0.3. Switch it off in General if you'd rather not.
Menu bar
Lives quietly in the menu bar. Pause with a click or Esc.
