Fold to dim.
Tilt back to restore.
When you fold your MacBook screen past a threshold, audio mutes, media stops and screens go dark instantly.
Why fold?
- Someone walks in: get instant privacy.
- Actually focus on someone talking to you.
- You're on a call and the screen is just noise.
"Best ideas are simple. Folding your screen is a gesture that I already intuitively use in a situation like this to imply that I'm listening, but now it also pauses my system for real."
Features
Everything you need
Smart mute
Mutes your audio device or pauses any media you are playing when you tilt your screen.
Auto dim
Drops brightness to zero on fold only to restore it when you unfold.
Configurable threshold
Set the exact fold angle that triggers the action. The built-in hysteresis prevents flapping near the boundary.
Native & lightweight
Lightweight implementation – you won't notice it's running.
Blur instead?
If you prefer to blur the screen or part of it instead, that's ok too!
Launch at login
Enable once and forget it. ScreenFold starts silently in the background every time you log in.
