LID SOUNDSMACOS 14+
Lidtone
Your MacBook's lid makes a sound as you open and close it: a creaky wooden door, a slide whistle, a rubber duck, a cat, a cartoon or a seagull.

SCREENS
WHAT IT DOES
- Six sound modes, all from real recordings. The lid's movement drives the sound; it doesn't just play a clip.
- The wooden door creaks more the slower you open it; the slide whistle rises as you open and falls as you close.
- It says good morning on the first open of the day. You can add your own opening sound of up to 3 seconds.
- It reads the sensor often only while the lid moves, and not at all during sleep or with the lid closed.

SEND AN EMAILQUESTIONS
- Will it work on my MacBook?
- It works on MacBooks with a lid angle sensor; the list is under Requirements. Without the sensor, Lidtone tells you so when it opens.
- Can I get a refund?
- Yes. Within 14 days of purchase you get a refund, no questions asked. Polar handles it: ask through the link in your receipt email or on your Polar customer page (polar.sh/erenclick/portal). If you get stuck, write to destek@eren.click.
- How do updates work?
- Once a day the app checks eren.click for a new version. If there is one, it asks you first; say yes and it downloads and installs it. You can also check any time with “Check for Updates…” in its menu.
