GlassFold: Lid Close Effect

Frosted glass fold animation

Only for Mac

Free · In‑App Purchases

Mac

GlassFold plays a real-time frosted glass animation as you close your MacBook's lid. The virtual screen plane stays fixed in space, blurring as the virtual glass lid tilts away from it. The effect resets to normal shortly after you return the lid to its initial position or let go of it. FEATURES - Real-time 3D glass effect controlled by your lid angle (see requirements below) - Runs in the background from your menu bar - Demo mode plays the effect on a simulated laptop with a lid angle slider - Fine tune the experience, including eye position for optimal perspective rendering, in Setup REQUIREMENTS For the full effect, you need an Apple Silicon MacBook with a lid angle sensor. This includes any Apple Silicon 14" or 16" MacBook Pro, and any MacBook Air M2 and above. If a lid angle sensor is not detected, the app will still run, but only a demo mode animation will be accessible, with a manual slider for the screen angle. Screen recording permission is required, since an in-memory screenshot is used when the effect initiates. The screenshot is never saved or uploaded anywhere.

- Optimized the shader to reduce stutter on certain Macs. You can still lower Blur quality (Setup > More settings) if the stutter persists - Fixed an issue that caused faint banding artifacts when blurring certain backgrounds
