How FoldMyMac works, requirements and privacy
How it works
- Lid sensor
- FoldMyMac reads the hinge angle from your MacBook’s built-in lid-angle sensor, so the effect follows the real lid position. How it works
- Live desktop
- Captures your screen and bends it in real time with Metal, so windows and wallpaper fold together.
- Three looks
- Silk, Shade or Frost. Tune perspective, blur and shadow, and choose the angle where it clears.
- Menu bar
- Stays out of the way in the menu bar. Pause with a click or Escape.
Requirements
- macOS
- 14 Sonoma or later.
- Hardware
- Apple silicon MacBook with a lid-angle sensor. Check your model
- Permission
- Screen Recording, so the desktop can be captured.
Private by design
- On device
- Frames are processed on your Mac. Nothing is recorded, saved or uploaded.
- No account
- Pay once, get the DMG and your license key by email, drag the app to Applications. The key is for one Mac.

Questions about FoldMyMac
Will it work on my Mac?
FoldMyMac needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later and an Apple silicon MacBook with a lid-angle sensor. The effect has been tested on an M5 MacBook Air. Automatic lid tracking is currently unsupported on the 2020 M1 MacBook Air and M1/M2 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. Other Apple silicon MacBooks need a readable lid-angle sensor; the chip alone does not guarantee compatibility. The manual preview works without a sensor. External displays stay unchanged. See the full compatibility list.
How do I get started?
Your download link and licence key arrive by email as soon as the payment goes through. Open the DMG and drag FoldMyMac onto Applications. On first launch macOS says the app was blocked: click OK, then in System Settings › Privacy & Security click Open Anyway. Allow Screen Recording when asked, paste your key, and the effect is on. The app lives in your menu bar.
Why does it need Screen Recording?
The effect uses a live image of your desktop so your wallpaper and windows blur together. Despite the permission’s name, FoldMyMac does not save a recording. It does not capture audio or send screen content anywhere.
Can I change the effect?
Yes. Choose Silk, Shade, or Frost, then adjust perspective, blur, and shadow. Set the lid angle at which your desktop becomes clear. You can also try the animation with a slider in the app.
