Before you start

The app requires an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 26 or later. There is no Intel build.
Automatic lid effects need a MacBook with a readable lid-angle sensor. Model support varies.
Manual preview remains available without a sensor, subject to built-in display safety checks.
Frost needs Screen Recording permission. Other lid effects do not.
Wallpapers apply to your primary display. On macOS 26, System Settings › Wallpaper can assign a scene to each display, and Screen Saver puts one on the lock screen.

Install the app

Download the DMG from the verified release link.
Open it and drag UnfoldMyMac into Applications.
Launch UnfoldMyMac and choose an effect.
Try Preview, then turn on lid effects when you’re ready.
After launching, choose Add to Lock Screen… in the menu bar, or open System Settings › Screen Saver, and pick a scene under UnfoldMyMac — Dynamic Wallpapers.

The disk image and the app inside it are both Developer ID signed, notarized by Apple and stapled, so the first launch works offline.

Build from source

UnfoldMyMac is open source under the Apache 2.0 license; the whole app is in the public repository.

Install Xcode 26 or later with Swift 6.2+, then select Xcode’s command-line tools in Settings › Locations.

git clone https://github.com/satyajiit/UnfoldMyMac.git
cd UnfoldMyMac/UnfoldMyMac
./script/build_and_run.sh

The script builds and opens UnfoldMyMac/dist/UnfoldMyMac.app. It uses an available Apple Development identity or falls back to ad-hoc signing. You can copy the built app to Applications.

To check the lid hardware, run ./script/build_and_run.sh --probe from the same directory.
