Did you know that you have ~rights~ a lid angle sensor in your MacBook? [The ~Constitution~ human interface device utility says you do.](https://youtu.be/wqnHtGgVAUE?t=21) + +This is a little utility that shows the angle from the sensor and, optionally, plays a wooden door creaking sound if you adjust it reeaaaaaal slowly. + +## FAQ + +**What is a lid angle sensor?** + +Despite what the name would have you believe, it is a sensor that detects the angle of the lid. + +**Which devices have a lid angle sensor?** + +It was introduced with the 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro. If your laptop is newer, you probably have it. + +**Can I use this on my iMac?** + +Not yet tested. Feel free to slam your computer into your desk and make a PR with your results. + +**Why?** + +A lot of free time. I'm open to full-time work in NYC or remote. I'm a designer/design-engineer. https://samhenri.gold + +**No I mean like why does my laptop need to know the exact angle of its lid?** + +Oh. I don't know. + +**Can I contribute?** + +I guess. + +**How come the audio feels kind of...weird?** + +I'm bad at audio.
