Bendy brings the fluid fold animation from iPhone Duo to your MacBook. As you close the lid, your desktop tilts, blurs, and settles — a seamless visual effect that mirrors the physical motion.
Features
- Lid Sensor Integration — Reads the hinge angle directly from your Mac's built-in sensor. No polling or accessibility hacks required.
- Live Desktop Rendering — Captures your screen and renders the tilt effect in real time with Metal, so windows and wallpaper move together.
- Three Visual Styles — Choose from Silk, Shade, and Frost. Fine-tune perspective, blur, and shadow with sliders, or let it follow the lid angle automatically.
- Sound Feedback — A soft click when the lid opens and the desktop clears. Toggle it off in General settings if preferred.
- Menu Bar Control — Lives quietly in the menu bar. Pause the effect with a click or press Esc.
Privacy
- On-Device Processing — All frames are processed locally on your Mac. Nothing is recorded, saved, or uploaded.
- No Account Required — One-time purchase. Download the DMG after checkout and drag to Applications. License key works on up to three Macs.
Requirements
- macOS 14 Sonoma or later
- Apple silicon MacBook with a lid angle sensor
- Screen Recording permission (required to capture the desktop for the effect)
