About:
LidAngleSensor is a macOS utility that monitors the physical orientation of a MacBook's display lid using built-in sensors. It provides real-time angle visualization and can trigger audio cues, such as creaking sounds, to simulate mechanical feedback. This tool is ideal for users interested in hardware telemetry or accessibility experiments.

Key Features:

Real-time lid angle monitoring
Audio feedback simulation
Lightweight background operation
Open-source implementation

Use Cases:

Monitoring MacBook hinge wear over time
Creating custom accessibility feedback loops
Hardware diagnostics for repair technicians

Alternatives:

iStat Menus – Provides comprehensive system monitoring including sensors, but is a paid suite rather than a focused lid-angle tool.
